Don't they get paid enough to buy their own cars? Our Overlords are taking good care of themselves. Maybe they should ask Obama to get GM to just give them all a new Volt.

2011 Ford Edge for freshman Tim Donnelly (R-Twin Peaks), a "tea party" activist and the Legislature's most strident conservative.

A California "conservative" oinking at the trough.

I would like to know what percent of the big three’s new sales go to government agencies? I just don’t see regular people dropping $25000 for a car. Maybe they go into debt to buy it?
Also, I wonder if governments do not buy toyotas and hondas? Maybe this is another back door bailout of the unionized auto companies.

Government employees in Sacramento have private government spas, gyms to work out, secured parking for their cars, government union protection, not to mention top shelf medical benefits for them and their families and lottery style tax paid government retirement benefits.

California government employees are treated like celebrities by state government.

I’m glad they get new cars on my nickel. My wife drives a 15 year old Explorer just to make sure they get their new cars. We are very happy to eke by to make sure our betters are well off. I’m sure you are too.

I noticed the examples in the excerpt were all Fords. Not a single GM.

They were offering a Zero Down lease on a base Prius for $249.00 a month. They could afford one of those on their salaries without the State laying out tens of thousands of dollars for their cool wheels.

Hard to believe CA is $25 Billion in the hole.

Better yet, just give them the old 100,000 mile Highway Patrol Cars that are always up for auction. Worked for the Blues Brothers...
