I predicted this would happen. The Democrats don't care about infrastructure. They do care about the groups dependent on government who receive benefits from it who vote for them and the Democrats intend to see it to it social spending remains uninterrupted. So what if California's brick and mortar is crumbling? What's important is every welfare recipient receive that annual COLA increase. Never mind if we can't drive on a new freeway. The Democrats have figured keeping as many people on the state dole is their ticket to remaining in power.
