Jerry Brown and the state legislature should gang up and drastically cut state government services in the Republican voting areas of te state. The Republicans want smaller government and smaller state government spending. As a former Californian and a liberal Democrat New Yorker, I believe the Republicans should get what they want. Right between the eyes.
