GREEN SOLUTIONS TO CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET CRISIS
As he asumes leadership in California, Jerry Brown is laying out the California finances in what is probably the most honest and thorough manner we have seen here for many a year. His "solutions," however, are not new: austerity, layoffs, increased taxes
There are other solutions that would bring real and lasting prosperity to California, solutions such as a return to taxing the wealthy at a significantly higher rate than the middle class, a state bank (South Dakota is the only state in the nation with a state bank and the only state without a budget edficit), and single payer health care. (California One Care, Senate Bill 810, is currently being discussed in the state legislature. It has been twice passed by both houses of the legislature, only to be vetoed by Gov Schwarzennegger.)
Alameda Greens published an analysis of the California budget deficit two years ago. It still holds true today.

In a YouTube video, Wells said "Here's what a Green Governor in California would and would not be talking about today."
