And it can turn some of its short-term problems, such as the pressures arising from ethnic and linguistic diversity (the state is now 37% Hispanic and 13% Asian) into long-term strengths in the global economy.

没人可以忽视加利福尼亚；它依然拥有巨大的能量。同时也能将其中一些短期问题，比如由种族以及语言多样化（该州目前分别有37%和13%的西班牙裔和亚裔人口）转化成全球经济的长期力量。但其政治领导人将必须承担某些残酷的现实并正视一个事实，那就是那些不缴纳所得税的加利福尼亚人（约占总劳动者数量的一半）将必须为公共服务付费，而这些公共服务也必须更精确的锁定其服务人群。
