If climate change is so important to Californians.  Then they should really spend the billions required to clear the forests of the dead trees that will inevitably lead to bigger and bigger wildfires.

If Jerry Brown wasn't such a fuck he'd be ok. At least he's reasonable when it comes to economics. If that Gavin Dickhead gets elected it's gonna get a lot worse from a budget standpoint.

completely agree.

Hahahaha.  It gets better.

In lawmakers' first hearing on state budget, Gov. Jerry Brown's staff gets grilled on a $1.5-billion mistake

Quote

Budget staffers said there were, in fact, two mistakes:

• A double counting of state savings from a program that coordinates health, behavioral and long-term care services with local government. That error understated expenses by $913 million.
• A forgotten state government cost from two counties — San Mateo and Orange — enrolling in the coordinated program, which meant missed expenses of $573 million.

I'm going to say Dem control is the common denominator. 

 

Am I right?

The Dems here in Cali have no opposition to anything. They only have themselves to blame.

It's horseshit that kids in CA are forced to learn a foreign language and thus the scores are brought down.

don't remember that story, but what i can tell you is that the armenian genocide is an open, festering wound around here that has no hope of healing because everyone keeps picking at the scab as if it happened a couple of years ago.
