State lawmakers in California are considering a bill that would prohibit state agencies from spending taxpayer money at any of the hotels owned by President Trump or his family.

Wow. They have time for this kind of shiite?
Are all of the other problems in CA solved now and I didn’t hear about it?
*SNORT*

“Public officials, at any level, should not profit off the constituents that they were elected to serve and represent,”
State employees should be staying at the Red Roof Inn when on the road, not luxury properties.
Good, Holiday Inn Express is good enough for them.
Are there any Trump Hotels IN california.
I haven’t stayed at a Trump hotel in probably twenty years but I remember they were pretty pricey and a government employee shouldn’t be spending tax-payer dollars like that anyway.
Virtue signalling.
Californians can stay at the Bed Bug Inn.
CA has lost its mind.
This is for sure unconstitutional and probably illegal.
Also violates law preventing targeting an individual.
A bill of attainder, how quaint
Makes any future stay of mine more enjoyable.
Judging from current events in SF and LA, a tent on the sidewalk and public toilets should be good enough for them.
What kind of per diem do they give these filthy state employees where they could afford to stay at Trump properties in the first place?
Yes, they're way overworked on the big issues such as trying to figure out which bathrooms to use.
Limit travel reimbursement to the going rate at Motel 6.
