Gov. Jerry Brown this week signed a state budget that includes $250,000 that Napa County has long sought to help keep its farmworker housing program financially afloat.
Napa County has three migrant farmworker centers that house a total of 180 men. Money for operations comes largely from a $10-per-acre annual assessment on vineyards and $13-a-day rent paid by lodgers.

That one-time state contribution of $250,000 will allow the county to catch up on maintenance and capital improvements at the centers, county Supervisor Alfredo Pedroza said.

Tell us Sr. Pedroza: why should ANYBODY be compelled to subsidize grape grower's businesses by paying for their workers housing?
OOOOH! That's right! Because the workers are MEXICAN, and therefore deserving of AMERICAN people's money!
Got it.
As long as the residents of the housing are legal H2-A visa holding temporary agriculture workers, I have no problem at all with this.
Neither do I since I'm not a California taxpayer. But, with the horrible insolvent financial condition of California I think the taxpaying citizens of that state should have concerns.
Well boo! we don’t get ANY help from MA to house our H2A employees. And believe me, DOL and DCS demand something new and improved at every inspection. The year after we built the brand new housing (10 years ago now) we were told we had to install another window upstairs (yes, after they had approved it the year before). My guess is if CA is paying for it, then they are not legal democrat voters ;)
-because that’s how they roll there.
That would be interesting to see if the voter rolls in Napa County include this address.
How many work at Pelosi’s winery?
This is the responsibility of the wine growers not the taxpayer.
Improvements = New car & Vacation
I finally got out while arnie the great disappointment was posing as gov, but apparently that dump is doomed to economic collapse.
The real tragedy of that scenario is that those of us in civilization aren't able to keep kali refugees from infesting our communities. If kalifornians were a salvageable species, Tom McClintock would have been governor. He was their last chance, and moonbeam is proof of that.
Isn’t Pelosi’s grape growing farm in Napa County?
Employees need state subsidized housing? Where are the ‘living wage’ protestors?
That is going to be a problem. Leftists and theirill are destroying their own nests, then coming to other places and doing it all over again, Even when they learn their lesson on one little aspect of the problems, they never seem to grasp the big picture. Example, many in Chicago are now moaning about the crime and taxes. They want to move to a “red” area. But they still express leftist views on so many things that they don’t seem to understand, drive high taxes and big government.
They're all hypocrites.
