Desperation California Style

Government tax revenues are way down in California, so the government is getting "creative".
The California Highway Patrol is handing out more traffic citations than it did a few years ago, and that has generated tens of millions of dollars in new revenue for state and local government, reports the Sacramento Bee.
A lawyer friend tells me some of the revenue raising moves are quite slick. In California, in the old days, it cost you $115.00 to incorporate. You could file with the state and get your papers in some cases within 2 hours, but it never took more than a week.
Now it takes five weeks. The lawyer tells me that the clerks now take in the incorporation applications and put them on a pile and don't look at them for four weeks. He says the clerks can be sitting there doing nothing, but a new application goes on the pile. If you need 24 hour turnaround, you can still get it but it costs an additional $350 over the basic $115.00 filing fee.
He says he sees many of these slick money generating moves by the state that don't catch the immediate attention of the public.
