I'd rather have every penny of state money going into the Gov's infrastructure projects if the taxpayers don't get a refund.

I'm a little confused. Did you intend to say: even if the taxpayers don't get a refund.

I have a mixed reaction to: Democrats don't want to see California prepared for the future. That's not where the votes for them are.

Yes, Democrats pander to their base for voting support.
No, Democrats depend on unions for campaign contributions.

With this Legislature you and I know the Democrats will never refund the taxpayers a single penny. That's why I rhetorically framed my observation in the hypothetical. And speaking of the hypothetical, we're not going to have Pat Brown's legacy renewed either. This is a different time and a different Democratic Party.

Yeah a voting base that expects the limitless growth of government and more checks. Its the unions that run the State Capitol. The Democrats themselves are just supporting players in the drama the former have scripted.
