So what will we do in CA to deal with the results of the tax bill?

1. I would start with this

stop payments to the IRS of federal taxes withheld from state government workers (and contractors)... and direct those funds into an account to pay for the shortages in Medicare and Medicaid caused by the new federal tax legislation. In addition, I would impose additional taxes on hotel and tourist venues for out of state visitors (if I could, I would word this so it only hits visitors from Red States) and use that money to reduce state and local taxes by at least as much as the lost federal deductions from our own wage earners.
