I thought Prop 30 was supposed to handle all the possible lay offs.Heavily supported by the unions to raise our taxes and the dufus public went along with it.
Keep asking to have your taxes raised folks.They have you right where they want you.
“I thought Prop 30 was supposed to handle all the possible lay offs.”
Surely you gest! Prop 30 was “supposed to be for the children,” but when you read it, in had no internal constraints on where Jerry the Fairy could spend the money. He will spend in trying to shore up the state pensions, but it’s too little too late there too. Our state government is scrounging for money everywhere. I own property with an elevator. Now the “inspector” comes every 18 months instead of yearly, the permit fee has doubled and, he always finds something that I will need to spend money on with our service contractor after 12 years of finding nothing. Last time, we had to clean the cobwebs from the walls of the elevator shaft under penalty and time limit. We had it done, sent in the paperwork on time, an yet still received a threatening letter accusing us of not doing the “work” within the prescribed timeframe and proposing a stiff penalty . Now, just like the cops ticketing aggressively, we have all manner of “public service” agencies doing the same thing.They are all scared shitless that the gravy train is crapping out and they are going to have to give up their pampered existence.
