You are NOT quoting the curernt bond package, but some old potential ones, which are NOT what passed.
The current bonds:
"The $37.3 billion public works bond package thats headed for the November ballot could impact where Californians live, how long it takes them to get to work, where there kids go to school and whether theyll face flooding. The package, split into four ballot propositions that were approved early Friday morning by lawmakers, would generate $19.9 billion for highway, rail and port projects; $10.4 billion for school and university construction and remodeling; $4.1 billion for flood control; and $2.85 billion for housing, parks and transit-linked development."

The infrastructure is in dire need of fixing, and the Dems wouldn't have allowed it to pass, without the school and housing part. It's like, when you buy a pound of meat, but you have to take the bone.
It looks like 2/3 are going for useful stuff, such as roads and flood control. That's probably the best deal we could have with the Dems controlling the Legislature.
The current, smaller bond package IS all for infrastructure.
WRONG. Very, very wrong! The same still applies. Have you looked at the new ones? They are basically the same packages, FO. Go compare the Transportation provisions in AB 1838 to AB 134 to the current SB 1266. They are virtually the same when it comes to their lack of infrastructure. The most recent switch was to strip out the affordable housing, previously buried in the Transportation bill, and make it its own $2.850 Billion Proposition. They added in a couple Billion in the process. Providing loans to the poor, building women's shelters, and hundreds of millions for "park creation" is hardly "infrastructure."
Wrong again, FO. I've read the ones that just passed Thursday night and summarized the bill numbers Here. I summarized who voted for what Here. Why not look at this thread, starting at about post #9 and see the millions for retrofitting buses and other NON infrastructure items. Or, go here to see the $135,000,000 in housing for farmworkers, so deceptively written that you have to look up existing code to figure out what pork they have hidden in here. All the posts are linked to the bond packages just passed, which will be on the ballot as Propostitions 1A through 1E.
The liberals trying to pass this garbage, along with the liberal MSM, would love to characterize this as "infrastructure." Thank goodness I can read and understand it for myself as I recommend everyone do.
