Extreme RINO governor.
In the end, Schwarty turns out to be no better than Gray-out Davis. Just as Bush set us up for Obambi, I’m afraid Schwartzy is setting us up for Jerry Brown :-( !!!
I’m proud to say I was never foolish enough to vote for the man.
California’s broke.
Good to know liberal judges are helping it crash.
Of course, you cannot cut a program completely, or limit the largess to those with citizenship status, or other such thing.
Socialism on a statewide scale designed to socially engineer our choices, does not work. I offer for proof the State of California as “Exhibit A.”
Once the govt. starts spending money on something, there is no shortage of rogue judges who will rule that they have to continue spending on it, even if the govt. has no money. That's why I am concerned about the US congress this year.
Most of the social service, mental health and health programs are federal programs that require a state and local funding match/maintenance of effort from the various general funds. This is how the feds have extended their reach beyond Constitutional limits by buying cooperation from state jurisdiction to implement their programs. The state can say no, but then the federal funding goes away.
This is what the Gov. is talking about. Completely dropping Cal-Works and In Home Support Services programs all together. I don’t think the Courts can prohibit the state from doing that and the feds have no jurisdiction to implement on their own.
The funding I am concerned about is the state grabbing HUTA funding. (They considered that last year.) This is gas tax that goes toward the building and maintenance of county roads. If the state takes that and the feds decide not to reauthorize the Secure Schools and Communities funding, our County will have no budget for roads. When you are a snow county, that can pose a huge problem as that means no snow ploughing in the winter. Everything would come to a standstill and a state of emergency would have to be called.
