I think people like Portantino spend too much behind the barriers to their gated communities.
If they could just get the elitists out of the place California would probably be a decent place.
Please note that this is a term-limited legislature.
They do not realize that the illegals whose potential Democrat illegal votes they covet, the votes of the public wards (heavy net users of public services and finances), criminal elements and all-round no good M'effers infesting that state will immediately invade their gated enclaves when the shit hits the financial fan there. They deserve what they're gonna get.
