Why won't The Times talk tax hikes? (www.latimes.com)

Welcome to the best of California's progressive community online. This is where we all gather to showcase the best bloggers, link to the most important stories and help the community post the best of the best. For far too long, what people get to see as the 'news of the day' hasn't been up to the people at all, but it should be. Here at California NewsLadder, every one gets a vote. Every one gets their say. You decide the news. We decide the news. And we all do it together.
