The money will be wasted on SJW’s flavor of the week.

Funds will be “loaned” to bailout government retirement plans.

The proceeds will be wasted on endless “planning” and admin.

8 cylinder trucks = $500 registration fees led to the recall 14 years ago. Could this lead to another turnover in 18’? Tom McLintock finished 2nd among Republicans with 12% of the vote when the voters went for the flash-Arnold. If we are hitting bottom this could be our real chance. 2020 GOP convention in Sacramento?

Precisely. I bet only 20% actually goes towards road repairs.

I live adjacent to Sacramento County

An audit of our county years ago showed only 7% of the taxes collected for roads were actually spent on roads

A few of us locals qualified a ballot initiative that would merely require 50% of the taxes collected for roads to be spent on roads.

Gathering signatures was a blast as people didn’t want to sign saying it should be 100%

Needless to say we passed the initiative with almost 75% voting YES

This should be done as a State wide initiative.

Side note ... All funds spent for road construction are required to be at prevailing wage.

The “Prevaling rate “ for fork lift operator in the LA area is $60 per hour

Brown is just to easy on the Californians he should have least went for $.25 to make it worth their while. $.12 will not amount to anything once the politician steal the lion’s share of it.
