My Way News - Calif. tax refunds to be delayed starting Feb. 1

My Way News - Calif. tax refunds to be delayed starting Feb. 1: "SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California's controller says he will begin a 30-day delay on tax refunds and other payments starting Feb. 1 because the state is running out of money.

Controller John Chiang said Friday he must delay $3.7 billion in payments next month because lawmakers have failed to address California's growing deficit."

I wonder at what point the dysfunctional legislature will get the picture. Maybe never? And then the issue is whether the electorate will weigh in and replace the current crowd with people of a more fiscally conservative inclination. But that might mean voting for (gasp!) Republicans.
