Field Poll: Calif. voters want say on budget taxes

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
A strong majority of California voters want a special election and support Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to shrink the state budget deficit by extending temporary tax increases for five more years, according to a survey by UC Berkeley and the Field Poll.

Most California voters, however, would not support paying new or higher taxes to help close the state's $26.6 billion deficit.
