Supposedly in the Bay Area we have near normal rainfall. But in the

he tells us that the state has a tax surplus. But he wants more taxes.

Meanwhile the fact is that there is unfunded liabilities that are more
than the taxes can cover - retirement benefits such as full medical
and dental to go with gracious retirement pay of 3/4ths the working
pay for government employees.

Newsom has not opposed using California National Guard to protect out
southern border despite the fact that Pelosi who opposes Trump's wall,
has made sure that California has a wall the entire length of the
southern border of California.

There couldn't possibly be anything more stupid than high speed
trains. While they are OK in Europe, that is a MUCH smaller place
considering that travel is normally only between neighboring cities
most of which do not have the real estate to build airports for jets.

In California travel between Sacramento and Los Angeles is twice as
fast and half the cost on commercial aircraft than it would be on a
government owned high speed rail. Democrats have been running the
state since Reagan and the place is now so run down that even
government buildings have things like power and heating failures.
Schools often are reduced to portables and any funding for school
improvements are seized by teacher's unions. The lowest wage of an
Oakland teacher is the hourly equivalent for a normal worker of
$28/hr. Plus they have massive amounts of holidays and three months of
PTO. They just struck for a 20% increase. Democrat politics in action.

Kids cannot ride a bike to school because traffic is so bad and bike
theft at schools is endemic. What this country needs is another half
million or more illegals this month. Just ask any Democrat
Congress-person.


"Democrats have been running the state since Reagan "

Pete Wilson? Fairly competent as governors go and relatively honest as
well.


What about Arnold? And that Deukmejian guy?

Sorry, the rain rain go away title fooled me...

Those two were RINOs.
