On May 19th voters will decide the fate of 6 ballot measures set to bring in an estimated $6 billion in revenues to the state of California, to offset the estimated $21 billion deficit.

To make up the funds, the State must consider cutting state jobs, reducing health care programs, eliminating certain social services, laying off teachers and increasing class sizes.  Similarly, vital investments like building roads and bridges, investments in public health, crime prevention, and education, may be ignored. 
In other words, the decisions that will be made in the coming months will affect residents of this state for years to come. 

Take a moment to share what services/programs/expenditures you think the State should retain when trying to balance the budget.
