What are some economic issues in California?

Our politicians can't agree on a budget. We have needs in schools, health, children's health, immigration policy, and so much more. The farmers need water and there are some farm towns in Central Valley that have 50% unemployment because of the water problems. Our taxes have gone up to support the inaction of the CA Senate. Yet, they still get their pay and perks. Teachers have gotten pink slipped because the school budgets can't support the teaching staff or programs in funding. Next week there is an election to pass four new propositions to tax us more to pay for schools, police and firemen. Yet, within each are "poison" pills that will tax us more and pay for less. They are moving funds from one account to another. It doesn't solve our problems, just moves them. Does that give you an idea of what is going on here?
