Banking profits were down that year.
Basically New York is dependent on the banking industry, California on tech and Texas on oil. If any of those industries has a downturn, tax revenue turns down.
This is the danger of being odominated by a single industry.
To be fair, California has more than one industry. The tech stuff, the holywood stuff and agriculture.
