Actually I expected Nevada and Arizona to be worse than California.  They have more retirees who aren't paying as much in taxes and are taking more services.  To add, industries that dominate the two states are the most prone to downturns during economic hardship, which results in less tax revenue.

Retirees don't cost state governments much for services; that falls on the feds.

     Though they would probably still be paying less in taxes.
