This is what is called "bait and switch" - a tactic practiced by unethical sellers who offer the popular item at a price to good to be true

Price too good to be true? No new taxes? No one seems to be mentioning this part of last night's legislation (AB 134):

There shall be collected each year and in the same manner
and at the same time as other state revenue is collected, in
addition to the ordinary revenues of the state, a sum in an amount
required to pay the principal of, and interest on, the bonds each
year. It is the duty of all officers charged by law with any duty in
regard to the collection of the revenue to do and perform each and
every act that is necessary to collect that additional sum.

That's what I mean. Higher taxes to pay for the bonds! You wonder what else is tucked in there we don't know about. Before one commit oneself to anything, one ought to at least read the terms of the proposal carefully. The Democrats want Republicans to pass a plan full of booby trapped bombs waiting to go off. Its no longer about the bonds any more, sistuh. Its about the Democrats' big government agenda.

One can reasonably conclude from recent promotions on the California Topic that only blindly loyal, Republican partisans refuse to acknowledge that bonding, any bonding, is a tax increase or a loss of public benefits, usually essential as opposed to progressive, or both.

AB 134, the trail balloon floated by Schwarzenegger and Nunez, is only confirmation of this practiced myopia.

Thanks to the link to AB 134 Calcowgirl. Look what I found in it.

(6) Ecosystem restoration of riparian habitat along Central Valley streams provides both environmental benefits and direct flood benefits, and can also provide advance mitigation for flood control activities and projects. Development of Natural Community Conservation Plans would greatly improve flood control activities.
