The board, in turn, will appoint two committee to approve grants. One committee will approve money for research, while the other will be in charge of doling out funds to build new labs and other facilities.

more california insanity.....ahnold sure blew this one
How many people will be on each commitee? sounds like this will be admin heavy... most government jobs are. and very little of this debt passed onto Californians will go to stem cell research
Can you say "boondoggle"?
The amazing thing is that 99% of the morons who voted for this don't know jack squat about what "stem-cell research" is. They have no good reason to believe that it is useful, or has potential, or anything. They have vague foggy idiotic notions that it would have saved Christopher Reeve's life or something. ALL they REALLY know about it is that Bush doesn't want it.
And that's all they needed to know! "If Bush doesn't want it, let's fund it with 6 billion dollars we can't afford!" It's amazing.
Just think of the reverse-psychology opportunities here... ;-)
The majority of voters pissed away 6 Billion dollars (30 year payback) on these bonds to fund bureaucratic bank accounts....nothing else.
Dr. Josef Mengele would be proud. He could only wish he had a $3 billion ($6 billion w/interest) budget to experiment on cloned human embryos.
The leftists hit another mother-load.
Can't spend us into the poor house fast enough.
In his FICTIONAL book - he called them "Regeneration Centers", funded by the government and Hollywood. In many book reviews - it was called "COLSON'S FANTASY...an ANTI-WOMAN TURNER DIARY FOR THE 90'S."...
It may have been sold as fiction, it may have been called fantasy... but it has all come to pass.
I'm going to get it out and read it again.
Dr. Mengele, your staff is waiting.
Well I hope all you RINOld fan club members are happy...
6 BILLION DOLLARS spent that we don't friggin' have for BS "medical research" that does not have one iota of success!!
Any one who voted for this musclebrain who wants to pay my state income taxes for the next twenty friggin years for this scam and the rest of the 40 BILLION DOLLARS OF DEBT please let me know!
Have a great weekend all!

The manure is getting ready to hit the proverbial fan YKW.
After a hard day at the State Hatchery, a little soma will make the day right.
I hope all the RINOs in California are enjoying their "fiscally conservative" government in action. For yoru next "fiscally conservative" action, perhaps you can spend several zillion to replace Bustamente with a socialist that has an "R" next to his name. George Ryan is tanned, rested, and ready for the job.

I realize the rending of children limb from limb in the womb is something to which most human beings can relate as "wrong" but I suppose we must thank the Birth Control mentality for the way Christians are able to rationalize the fact that ALL MEN are no longer CREATED equal.
Science proves unequivocably that a human life is COMPLETE at the moment of conception and requires -- as does any child -- only food and protection from his mother.
It amazes me that Christians -- for whom God is their favorite philosopher, even -- have managed to overcome this Scientific Fact which, by all rights, should suggest the only logical conclusion that the Soul a part of that Unique Body is also present from the moment of conception.
But Christians accustomed to Planning "God's blessings" and seeking to exclude their beloved Creator from the most intimate and profoundly creative relationship of their lives here on earth likely are ripe for rationalizing just about Big Lie these days ... particularly of the Self-Deluding variety.
I guess the part I liked best was the way anyone who championed Bush as "against" stem cells had to rely on the tried and true "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO" argument in arguing against Prop. 71.
29 on the commission ... perfect. Elevenses is so appropriate to the work of the Diabolical. Not that these numbers -- like those used to Science death and torture camps worldwide such as Unit 731 -- aren't pulled out of thin air, natch.
This measure did not pass by a resounding majority vote. My sincere sympathies to those solid citizens who also live in the beautiful state of California, and treasure its rich heritage. Too many of us have watched our core values stripped away by the liberals who moved into our home states.

Q: How many dead babies does $3 billion buy?
A: ?
From where are they going to borrow this money?
Shouldn't whatever institution which lends it be up for boycott by atleast that 41% of Californians and the rest of us as well?
