Barbra Streisand Reacts To Governor Brown’s Decision To Sell Land She Donated To State
CBS) ^ | May 28, 2011 10:42 PM

Brown’s decision to sell, among other state properties, the 24-acre multiple-home estate Ms. Streisand donated to the State of California and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in November, 1993:

“While I had hoped that the Ramirez Canyon property I donated to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy would have been used for a state-of-the-art Environmental Conference and Study Center as was originally intended, I understand Governor Brown’s tough decision given the severe budget shortfalls that California is facing. I only hope that there is little disruption to the residents of Ramirez Canyon through this potential transition and that whatever entity does purchase the land and the homes on it will preserve its special habitat.”

If it was a Republican who had made the decision to sell I suspect her reaction would be more strident.

An earlier story reported that California is closing down its state parks system because of the budget situation. Now they are selling off conservation reserve properties. So, they have given up their state parks and now are sacrificing their environmental principles in order to maintain their illegal aliens in the style to which they’ve become accustomed. Now supporting illegals, schools their kids kids, providing free health care, etc. trumps all other priorities in California, including environmentalism. It’s come to this.

Add abortion and gay rights and yes, it has come to this.

Probably a tax write-off to her anyway.

It is a well written Formal essay, clearly penned by a major in formal English writing. - She needs to give that speech writer a raise.

Eventually, when California runs out of things to sell, they’re going to have to address reality and face their run away government spending ways?

In the near future, Useful idiot Babs would be apologizing when Barry , Samantha Powers ,and Valerie Jarret call for rounding up all the Jews so they can visit special camps.
Liberalism truly is a mental illness.
