They do this every time there is a budget problem.

They changed the play book this time and emptied the prisons before laying off the police.

It's all good.

Reminds me of the situation where a guy holds a gun to his own head and tells everyone to move away or he’ll shoot.

“same strategy the Dems use here in WA...”

In Alabama it’s “vote for the higher school (property) tax or we’ll cut out high school football “. Every time.

Money to fight Whu-Han virus?
Ok.
Money to help you give to illegals?
Pay off your pension debt?
Eat Pooh.
Cancel your bullet train waste.

Fine. California is releasing all their prisoners, police can’t arrest anyone for even shoplifting, and fire fighters aren’t allowed to manage control burns to prevent fires. Why are they needed?

To: Enlightened1; All

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

Just because the gov. is unable to assess priorities, does not mean citizen voters can’t....and see the ruse.

Will they endorse cutting services which might save their life or their home ?

Deep thinkers over there in the govs office.
