Because the legislature is currently spending less than 0.5% on infrastructure...I am tired of waiting for them to do the right thing. Normally, I am against "mandates", but the CA politicians (READ: Democrat) have a proven track record of not spending on vital road/water/bridge, etc. projects. Spending on infrastructure was about 20% under Pat Brown(D) and Ronald Reagan(R) in the 60's and 70's....(the Califirnia "Golden Years").
