Oooo, Uncertainty!

Governor Jerry Brown proposes cuts to enterprise zones and a re-imposition of a business tax previously (and irresponsibly) imposed by then-Governor Schwarzenegger. Business leaders are predictably unhappy, citing "uncertainty" resulting from the proposals.

The proposals appear to be good steps, and would certainly be more palatable than the devastating cuts to education and social services he has proposed. Business leaders need to suck it up along with everyone else; employees have been very "uncertain" in the current economic climate. With a $25.4 billion budget shortfall, everyone has to chip in.
