I hope the GOP wins it

The whole "qualified to run under the constitution" is a completely disingenuous position. 
The constitution defines three requirements:
natural born
resident for 14 years
at least 35 years old
Thats it, nothing about taxes or any other nonsense.  
Not to mention the state over stepping its rights, but thats another discussion im sure.

Wonder how many millions of stolen income Newsome will ultimately waste on this pointless endeavor.

I hate standing and removing my hat...pretty much the whole charade. But, I do it anyway. I suppose the way that Richard Dawkins identifies as culturally Christian, I'm culturally patriotic.

On a call right now with a lobbyist hired by a big client of mine. He's telling us how he had to donate to campaigns of certain CA legislators and what other promises he's made for them to amend some regulations that hurt our businesses. He's so nonchalant about it. Hilarious.

[Blarg]

He is lucky he can afford to buy the government he needs.

Haha.  This is just too funny.

As home construction sputters, Gavin Newsom calls for rent caps and less red tape

Quote

Newsom called for the Legislature to pass his plan to steer $331 million the state received in 2012 from a lawsuit against financial institutions over unfair mortgage practices. Courts determined the state initially misspent the money and ordered Newsom and the Legislature to fix it.

California misspent $330 million that should have helped homeowners, court holds

Quote

California must use money it obtained from banks through a lawsuit over unfair mortgage practices to help homeowners after the state’s highest court rejected arguments from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration that it could use the money for other purposes.

State government received $410 million and set aside $331 million for programs to help homeowners with legal assistance and consumer education. But Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature instead used most of the money to pay off state debts from housing bonds.

 

So, he's going to double down and misspend the money again.

I don't know, I'd almost rather them use the money to pay down their stupid bonds than to 'help homeowners with legal assistance and consumer education'

CalPERS can pretty much do what they want because when they come up short they just go back to each city and make them pay more.  I remember reading an article some time back that talked about how I believe it was federal pensions that weren't as underfunded because their return assumptions were more realistic and in line with market expectations.  Pretty easy when you can just shrug your shoulders and pass the expense on to someone else.

LMAO! Everyone's fault but his. These lunatics can't stay in power forever, right?

So was watching the news today.  Guess there was a shooting in Lancaster.  Police officer shot by a sniper from a mental hospital or residence or something.

So the Lancaster or whatever mayor is on.  He is adamant on closing the mental hospital now.  

Yes, just what Calolfornia needs is to close mental hospitals.  That's show em.

I live up in Lancaster, guy literally opened fire on the sub station.   I hadnt yet heard where it came from but the fact that someone would open fire on a sheriff station is telling.  The more we villify cops, the more this is going to happen.
