making it superfluous to spend tax money on it
They have no intention of spending the money as claimed. This is just a scam for California politicians and their cronies to line their pockets.
Hollywood is involved. That speaks volumes. Hollywood spent millions to get the tobacco tax passed. Hollywood collects 20% of that tax and a couple of pennies per dollar go to the stated goal. The other 80% just evaporates into the ether.
