Let’s face it..Gov. MoonBeam and the Dems are beholden to the UNIONS, minorities and every other hack group relying on the govt. mothers milk.
No guts to make the cuts… Why does Ca. need a massive ‘Air Resources Board?
This gimmicky budget is like applying band-aids when drastic surgery is necessary to cut out the cancer.
Incompetent boobs at the Insane Asylum in Sacto. Expect more mini-crises along the bumpy way.

That’s it? $200M that you think might not materialize because collecting sales tax like other retail is too great a burden? Out of an $84B budget? Wow, he sure tried to pull a fast one there, didn’t he. Weak.

Not so fast…taxes go down in couple days…certain.

Let the unions spend their money trying to convince voters to raise taxes to give government workers more salary, pensions and bebefits…a nonstarter!

So let me get this straight. The brilliant Repubs had the opportunity to get pension reform, a possible spending cap, and other goodies. All they had to do was support a special election in which a proposed tax increase would more than likely be defeated. But instead, the morons took the Grover Norquist line and wound up with zilch, nada, zero. And now their best opportunity to get these things is gone.

If you hear of any of these fools who would like to play poker, please let me know.
