Antonovich Blasts State Government

Monrovia's representative on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, Mike Antonovich, testified before the  California State Assembly Subcomittee on the Budget this evening that, basically, the state is a spendthrift  that needs to make real structural reforms and shouldn't be trying to shift its expenses off onto the counties.

Antonovich said the state is "overspending," is driving businesses out of California, has a "bloated bureaucracy," is using a "magician's slight-of-hand trick" in its finances, and so forth.
