They call it paradise

And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun,

ABC News has learned that tax refunds are now on hold in California for the first time in state history, according to the state controller's office.

"Unfortunately, we have asked the California Franchise Tax Board not to send over tax refund claims beginning today because we will not be able to process them and have them out the door by Feb. 1 when a 30-day delay in tax refunds goes into effect," Hallye Jordan, spokeswoman to California State Controller John Chiang, tells ABC News.

During the 30-day delay, the controller's office estimates that a combined 2.74 million California individuals and businesses will have their tax refund delayed.

The liberal press likes to tout California as the model progressive state, leading the way by example.

We won't hear this story in that context. We won't hear from the press how this is the result od liberal fiscal policy. Can't blame this on the Iraq war either. But I'm afraid the rest of the states will follow Califonia's example.
