The esteemed Mayor of Claycord posted this morning about the possibility that Concord would lose $24 million from yet another raid from the State of California.
Since the ballot measures were defeated in every County in California, the Idiot Governor Schwarzenegger and politicans that think voters don’t count, will start screaming about how they need to close schools and layoff police instead of cutting real waste; beginning with the unaffordable $100,000 pensions being paid to retired state and municipal employees and enforce Prop 187.
The governing class in California, including the Contra Costa Times and other newspapers that recommended the failed propositions will do anything to maintain power. Watch as they will now spew a litany of half-truths designed to scare us instead of doing their jobs. Listen as they begin to rip taxpayers and voters for making stupid decisions. Laugh when the school board mullahs, county supervisors, the Idiot Governor, and the politicians from both parties continue to ignore voters. And understand that they are useless dead weight and ought to be removed from office and authority.
The good citizens of Concord and other cities in Contra Costa County should rise up to protest any attempt by the Idiot Governor of California to raid monies from local governments and agencies. Taxpayers should surround every City Hall in the County in non-violent protest in support of any local electeds who stand up to say NO MORE and refuse to let the State of California steal local agency dollars.
The madness has to stop.
Can you imagine Shinn in green tights? Me, neither.

There was a raid on City money some time ago and I do not believe it was ever repaid…have to get the details on that.
Of course we have to oppose this nonsense, if the City wanted to ‘lend’ its money out, I am sure we can find a much better investment than Sacramento.
The Sac Bee is in pissy snit wagging it’s finger at voters, today. Hate to say it, but you may be right.
