A bill quietly moving through the Legislature would create a nine-member California Public Performance Facilities Authority that would have the power to buy, build and operate facilities for sports, concerts, plays, conventions and other events.-----
State government in the business of running businesses, even if they say it is for the children... or subsidizing fat cat owners and arena wannebee owners.
Naaah!

This is nothing more than a ruse to get the NFL to put a team in Los Angeles again.

Makes ya wonder the amount of money that passed hands for this bill to pass. Who will get the contract to build, run, maintain said venues. California is soooo screwed up.

And of course all of the building will be done by Uncle Ned's construction company.

It never ends. Lots of the owners of these facilities are big California campaign donors. I guess they are looking for their payoff.

More socialism. The Democrats can't think of one thing the private sector can do better. Naw, let Father Government take care of us children.

The State of California may be going into the business of building and operating stadiums, arenas, theaters, concert halls and other public performance facilities This is the definition of socialism.

Sen. Debra Ortiz, D-Sacramento, has a bill that would require health insurance plans to pay for the people they cover to take part in smoking cessation programs, a step she predicts would save the health plans money while helping 2 million people give up tobacco over the next decade. This is the definition of fascism.

Lawmakers failed, for the 19th straight year, to pass a new state budget by the June 15 constitutional deadline, but talks continue.Clearly the state constitution is just as useless as the federal constitution.

State activities help businesses in other ways, including publicly funded university research, he said. "I think it's the legitimate place of government." You think wrong. But you are in cozy company, GWB agrees with you.
