Answer from Michael R. Macias:
One of the first issues California must address in order to restore fiscal balance is spending. It is irresonsible of any government to spend more than they are taking in. The State of California must make necessary spending cuts if it is to solve the current budget problems.
California must also address the business enviroment within the State. As a State, we must become more business friendy, and promote California as such. In doing so, the State can attract more companies to do business in California which will in turn produce a greater tax revenue and produce more jobs.
Answer from Michael R. Macias:
The State's Community College System should also be spared from budget cuts. The State's Community College System is home to thousands of students who cannot afford to attend a traditional four-year institute. If the State elects reduce the budget of the Community College system, and tuition must be increased, it will prevent many deserving individuals from attending college.
