This has very little to do with the budget. Not so oddly, most far northern CA counties and cities are not near bankrupt and or are fiscally responsible. It gets tough when the state yanks promised funds out from underneath them at a whim but they still are doing mostly OK. Some just have to perform some cuts or layoffs to keep the budget in line. Most did not spur rapid spending during the boom period, like some southern counties did. It still and for a long time will always act like two separate states even though they are not. At worse typically northern CA counties end up getting anally raped with their shares of anything when it comes to state spending, cuts, price gouging, etc.
So to be fair most of these northern counties do not need the money and we already know any money collected would just end up down south.
Oddly though the new water bill passed is not to bad and will help some. I do not see or imagine any real support for the new canal - expect that one to be held up by the counties up here.
Anyways this is about State law versus City Law, and possibly County law soon. Then will quickly beg the question since I5 goes right smack through Red bluff and north of them is one of the biggest producing regions in the state. Will there be legal ramifications about restricting commerce in other parts of the state.
