How did Governor Jerry Brown do it? He raised taxes on the rich, thats how.
California Headed For Budget Surplus After Taxing The Rich
--------------------------------------------------------------
another thing that happened in California that has helped them out is they have done away with a real-estate development gimmick called TIF (tax increment financing). This is in effect a government subsidy to developers on the backs of local property tax payers. I dont think Brown had much to do with it, I think it was the result of some lawsuits, but it no doubt has helped the taxpayer of California.
