“California could very well become an organized non-payer,” said Willie Brown, Jr, a former speaker of the state Assembly in an interview recorded Friday for KPIX 5’s Sunday morning news.California is among a handful of so-called “donor states,” which pay more in taxes to the federal Treasury than they receive in government funding.
