I hear ya. This is what is called "bait and switch" - a tactic practiced by unethical sellers who offer the popular item at a price to good to be true and then when you come in the store they announce its not in stock at any price and offer to sell you a more profitable, higher priced substitute, at an outrageous mark-up of course. Where's the savings and more important, where's the item you had your heart on buying? This is the Sacramento version of the tactic and its despicable. "Infrastructure plan," indeed.

Price too good to be true? No new taxes? No one seems to be mentioning this part of last night's legislation (AB 134):

There shall be collected each year and in the same manner
and at the same time as other state revenue is collected, in
addition to the ordinary revenues of the state, a sum in an amount
required to pay the principal of, and interest on, the bonds each
year. It is the duty of all officers charged by law with any duty in
regard to the collection of the revenue to do and perform each and
every act that is necessary to collect that additional sum.
