Assemblyman Rick Keene, R-Chico, said he was concerned the governor's plan would eat up the state's ability to sell other bond proposals for as long as 40 years. He also complained it provided too little in bond funds for transportation, flood control and water storage.

"We've got only $13 billion going into what I think California thinks infrastructure is," he said.

Out of $222 Billion?

I'd love to see the detailed list.

You won't. It is purposely being suppressed. Revelation of the list would immediately reveal two things. The geographic distribution of the infrastructure proposals and the nature of the spending, in the majority, for things not considered state infrastructure by voters (schools, prisons, low income housing, training and rehabilitation, etc.)

The initiatives that result from these schemes will be just as deceptive as Prop 76. The devil will be in the details. Read the fine print and be prepared to face the condemnation of the CRP when you publish the facts on this forum. The CRP subscription will go berserk and come at you from all directions. claiming that you are 1) supporting the Democrat agenda, 2) Supporting the Democrat candidate for governor and 3) that you are really a liberal trolling the forum. FairWarning.

They're never going to spend $222 billion on infrastructure. There'd be no money for the Democrats' dependent constituency. So the odds are long this will see the light of day. You're asking the Democrats to hang themselves with their own rope. If they have to choose between social spending and new freeways and new dams and levees, its no contest.
