California is restricting publicly funded travel to four more states because of recent laws that leaders here view as discriminatory against gay and transgender people.

Bingo! I work for a high tech company in Santa Clara and our production is in Austin. My co-workers and many others travel there on a daily basis.
Thanks!
Lol, I almost posted earlier that this ban would hopefully mean a few fewer hipsters in Austin. :)
Here’s a scenario. The fix for CA dam is in Phoenix and the state has to send someone there to test some process or material. If the gov did not exempt the travel the dems might not be repaired. this hypothetical, but these bans are ridiculous grandstanding.
thank you california, we appreciate it
we can only hope
Oh, no! You mean we Texans will have to struggle along without a bunch of braindead California morons coming down here and telling us how to screw up our golden state the way they screwed up theirs? However shall we survive?!
BTW, you know why the unisex bathroom movement started in California? Because it took Southern Californians so long to read the words “Men” and “Women” on the bathroom doors, they were wetting themselves.
California now bans most state-funded travel to eight states.
The new additions are Texas, Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota......They join Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee as states already subjected to the ban.
So the “publicly funded” travel of Gov. Brown’s trip to China recently is acceptable, but no such travel can be done to a State that bans males from using female bathrooms.
Does that mean the idiots in Sacramento think the bathroom bans are worse than the human rights abuse in China?
Maybe they should consider re-joining Mexico!
They can’t afford to have their officials fly anymore so the ban keeps their money in the state.....they’re going bankrupt here soon if they don’t get control of things.
Has nothing to do with gays etc...they could care less.
Caliphony Democrats should follow through and NOT GIVE TO CANDIDATES in these states.
That’s right too.....they don’t have the money to play in politics now....LOLOL...of course they’ll take it off the backs of their people anyway.
“Why do people in state government travel so much?”
To see how politicians do things in other states that won’t work in their state either.
And quite a few of them like to bend over forwards to prove they are liberal towards homosexuality.
Woo hoo! Can they, please, take back the Kalifornicans who have already moved here and are trying to change Texas?
Yep. CA is acting more and more like it’s own country rather than a state.
I had a problem with a CA company, IOGEAR, who would not honor their warranty so I filed a grievance online about them. I got a call saying they don’t help anyone from out of state. I asked them who could help me put a stop to company in their state committing fraud and the lady could not send me anywhere. They make a thousand new laws, just at the state level, every year and they have no protections for consumers not living in CA.
Eff that state. I wish I didn’t have family still living there but they are old or stuck in their ways or both. I predict it will secede within 10 years. It’s just too much different than the rest of the country in both thought and deed.
They aren’t restricting travel. They are restricting state funded travel. Big difference.
Funny, I decided after the last election that I was avoiding California... Any further driving trips to Oregon will be heading straight north instead of giving California a dime of mine.
Sure. It falls within the Interstate Commerce clause of the US Constitution, which of course is the exclusive province of the state of California./sarc
