Federal funds had been given to the state for road maintenance. the state legislature diverted said funds for social welfare crap instead.
Oh well, you lose.
Hey - the Feds gave them $3 Billion for the failed train deal...and they don’t want to pay it back so i say that it counts for at least the same amount of future payments to Kalifornia....kind of like a pre-paid credit card.

In light of the power outages we can say...... California is venezuela west

Interesting. I did not think about that. The State does have a big surplus. Thanks.
