Do you anticipate ANYONE with an IQ over 40 will buy a bond from a bankrupt state?
bad news. this will take the state down. fiasco. corrupt.
Our response has to be voting down every tax proposal throughout the state. The only way things will get better is if they get a lot worse first. There’s no nice way to say it: California is now in the hands of looters and they need to be starved to death.
Comments here are absolutely correct. We need to starve the beast and then take back our state! It’s going to hurt, but it’s the only way survive.
Brown has helped us build that momentum with this issue.
Bad man Brown, will sign this wasteful spending, then tell us : If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch, Ill cut school funding, let convicts out of prison, close the State Parks & let the roads fall apart.
Hopefully this will teach more people to Vote No on all tax increase proposals.
I might be to optimistic. I live in a City so incredibly corrupt, the Taxpayers Association gives money to tax increase campaigns & the two biggest City Parks are closed to the public. Mondays Lafayette City Council meeting has a plan to make it a misdemeanor to be on those two City Park’s grass.
