Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, criticized Perata's plan, saying people who use bridges and ports should pay for any new construction instead the cost being spread among all state taxpayers. He noted that the original construction of the bridges was funded through tolls.

"This is a radical and entirely unsound departure" from the traditional method of funding such projects, McClintock said.

Yeah...more bonds! Screw the entire state! Sheesh. Just raise the freaken toll! We wanted a fancy bridge (that might become a 'boring' causeway anyway), we should pay for it!

YUP, and the politicians have A BRIDGE to sell us, literally.
