Wanna bet not a single bridge nor highway will be even touched?
I lived in CA and this kind of thing passed every decade or so and NOTHING got better. The only thing that ever actually HAPPENED was bridge support after the Northridge quake. And that was mostly FEMA $.
They should remove the bear from the state seal and replace it with a pickpocket.
More from the article:
” Turns out the tax wasn’t about repairing roads and highways after all. On Sept. 20, in a little noted maneuver, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to divert the tax cash away from crumbling highway repair to greenie political pet projects instead. To heck with the highways; it was time to save the Earth. According to an Oct. 7 item from the California Globe:
Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-19-19 September 20, directing the already controversial gas tax money away from fixing local highways in favor of rail projects.”
CA needs a non-pyrotechnic electric distribution grid more than it needs to poor more cash down the rail rathole, or pave the remaining square foot of land.
A sucker born every minute. In California, one per second.
If Kimberly Guilfoyle had gone straight to Don Trump, Jr. rather than temporarily marrying Gayvin Newsome — falling for his good looks and assertive mannerisms, no doubt — he might have never made it this far.
Just goes to show you: never trust a greenie weenie (even an alpha male greenie weenie) with a tax hike.
PING!
When Prop 6 made it on the ballot, amid much consternation from the elected classes, the proposed title on the ballot was to be, “Proposition 6: Repeal the Gas Tax”.
After a little slight-of-hand, what showed up on the ballot was: “Proposition 6: Diverting funds away from road and bridge repair”
Lies and low information voters, this is how the democrats have screwed California.
I knew that this would happen from the start.
The bill stated that funds would be used for blah, blah blah ‘and transportation projects . . .
construction means construction jobs and oversight jobs and graft and payola. Billions coming in every year earmarked for the democrats and their minions. Sweet deal.
But hey Democrats are the ones that really care about the little guy and not the rich people. They will screw you over but they really care.
Gosh, a Democrat stealing funds. What could possibly happen next?
Makes Jon Corzine look like an amateur.
