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.”
Can’t Patterson sue him? The voters voted it in. The voters should have the final say.
It’s Kleptofornia why is anyone surprised?
Mis-allocation of funds is just business as usual there.
I lost everything I owned way back in 1983 when the crooks running San Jose took the Alviso flood control funds to glorify themselves and their pet “Light Rail” project.
Which virtually no one rode.
I recently visited Alviso for the first time in decades.
No longer a small bed-room community at the edge of San Jose.
Now that Google and several other mega-companies have facilities there thirty million has been spent on flood control.
So clearly the mere citizens are fair game but they will not risk the ire of the corporate masters.
this money will keep our elite masters in the money for a long time....
we're such suckers...
