Reply to comment by acebandaged in TIL that after a flood killed thousands and devastated the economy, California legislators and State employees worked unpaid for a year and a half. by WhatsAMisanthrope

While I agree that we shouldn't just go on a tax cutting spree to avoid economic harm, I think taxes that had a pre-defined conditional expiration as part of the original wording when passed should honor that condition.
