$24 billion in debt and still intent on 'killing' the producing sectors of the economy. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

The 'fruits and nuts' of California Socialism. Expect more 'job flight' from California to Arizona, Nevada, Mexico, and China. Our minimum wage of $6.75/hour plus 'livable wage' sectors are eliminating almost all entry level opportunities for the unskilled and semi-skilled workforce.(Ever wonder why sodas cost $4.00 at the ball game, and you can't carry in?)

Socialism re the free lunch that someone else is paying for is the cornerstone of the Rats in Kali and DC.

The Rat Polls promise the free lunch to their voting cults. The voting cults elect them. When elected they tax and spend to pay for their promises.

Or there is a partially free lunch to certain dark siders re utilities, phone bills and other services. Again they get, and we pay.

This nonsense is why I left California for Virginia four years ago. Back then, no one in the family could understand why I wanted to leave. Now, half the family has moved somewhere else and the other half is trying to leave!

According to the latest census, three million people left California for one of the other 49 states in the last ten years. But California's population grew by one million -- how did that happen? You replaced three million fed-up taxpayers and small businesspeople with four million illegal aliens -- which the Dems actively aided, because it's an ill educated, tax consuming population they can keep on the Dem plantation. That state is going to be hideously governed for a long time.

This bill would fund a maximum of 12 weeks of paid family leave, financed by employers and workers."

Watch for another significant deduction from your paycheck to fund this boondoggle. CA workers already get hit for "CA SDI". Is the 12 week maximum a lifetime cap, or is it renewable each year? If it's renewable, you can get the old baby factory going. 9 months cooking, 3 months off every year until you are tired of it.

(b) A certificate filed to establish medical eligibility of the serious health condition of the family member that warrants the care of the employee need not identify the serious health condition involved, but shall contain:
(1) The date, if known, on which the condition commenced.
(2) The probable duration of the condition.
(3) An estimate of the amount of time that the physician or practitioner believes the employee is needed to care for the child, parent, spouse, or domestic partner.
(4) A statement that the serious health condition warrants the participation of the employee to provide care for his or her child, parent, spouse, or domestic partner.
‘‘Warrants the participation of the employee’’ includes, but is not limited to, providing psychological comfort, and arranging ‘‘third party’’ care for the child, parent, spouse, or domestic partner, as well as directly providing, or participating in, the medical care.
(c) The department shall develop a certification form for an employee taking leave for reason of the birth of a child of the employee or the employee’s domestic partner, or the placement of a child who is unable to care for himself or herself with the employee in connection with the adoption or foster care of the child by the employee or domestic partner.

They are sneaking in some other language later in the bill. You should read it in its entirety.
