4. His options are to stop coddling the corporations and wealthy who are
using California resources at a far greater rate than the average California citizen and start saying "we're at rock bottom; if you want to play in California, you have to start paying close to your fair share"...
There's ways to work that so that it doesn't sound so harsh, but the state has to raise revenue and we've been just giving things away like a desperate geek trying to keep the hot but emotionally abusive boyfriend or girlfriend.

Tax breaks and sweetheart deals haven't kept corporations in California, anyway. They're still leaving as soon as someone else gives them an expensive gift package for just showing up and talking pretty.
