I left long before you did but I know that place well. One time they even tried to tax retirement for the portion of the retirement earned in Cal. Can you beat that one? I would not doubt they want to remove as many guns and as much ammo from the public there as possible because when the shooting starts, they will be number one.
I know they did. I worked with a public employee union and they were outraged that a person could save in a 401(K) tax deferred and then leave the State without paying their “fair share”. (Which is exactly what I did)
Instead of walling off the Southern border, we should wall off CA on the US side, and funnel all the illegals into CA from the South.
