Only weeks ago, fiscal conservative legislators Ray Haynes and John Campbell argued passionately against the plan to borrow $15-billion, and then they voted against it.
Now they support it and are urging Californians to vote “yes.” A half dozen other Republican Assembly members who voted with them are doing the same, along with most of the state’s anti-tax, anti-borrowing crowd — from the Howard Jarvis Assn. to the California Taxpayers Assn.
“With the astronomical broker fees involved in the sale of these bonds, I have no doubt that the supporters will raise more than $10 million,” McClintock said. “The problem is there is no similar counterbalance on the other side.”
That about says it all, doesn't it?
The Howard Jarvis Assn. and the California Taxpayers Assn. are sellouts - - probably for some big money.
Pathetic.
