the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is set to receive $438.7 million

They can't say it but they are going to blow the majority of these road taxes on trains again. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders lists an obsession with trains as an extremely accurate marker of libtardism.

Thanks. I was not aware of this. I bet PG&E does the same.

We live an area that is loaded with Piuses and Talons.

Our electrical rates as usual are up versus last year without an electrical powered car.

A co worker leases an electric car (Orange County). Not only did she get $8,000 off her Fed/State income taxes, but her electricity is subsidized too. She charges the car at home, and her Edison bill is about 20% less than in previous years !

Soooo—OTHER taxpayers are subsidizing her car & it’s operating costs.

I don’t like that kind of wealth distribution, either.

“”he was glad to be a Democrat.””

What a sleaze bag>>>>>>> How long did it take him to ask the entire country for $$$ to bail him out of the Oroville Dam problem? No mistake - that is OUR money. Sure wish we had the choice of saying where it goes. They mismanaged what they had for improvements to the state’s dam projects. I would have told him to go pound sand.

Can’t find the actual figure but there is this which is interesting:

In two sentences, you summed up what is so wrong with most of the Green bs and tax write offs!

I think it is statewide, I doubt SCE is in this, by itself. I am generally against electric vehicles, but she has such a sweet deal with all the incentives, that, as an individual, I can’t fault her for having one. Round trip 10 mile daily commute, she put five grand down, got eight grand back on income taxes, and her electric bill went down.

Her husband has a conventional car, so it is not a bad setup. Her lease is up, next year, I am curious to see how she proceeds, from that point.

Until Californians start focusing on a detail cost analysis of what a sanctuary state is costing them and start raising hell they don’t deserve any sympathy.

A favorite tactic by collectivist governors parading as democrats is Road fund diversion because it’s a steady revenue stream , They’re easily diverted and go into social programs.

Usually when sanctuary cities are discussed those city gasoline taxes also get raided because of that steady revenue stream as well. But it’s never brought out usually the focus is on school expenses In this case California,states( their state senate just passed making California one)

Californians have no idea what those open borders policies are really costing them . There was a recent study about school expenses and what it’s costing Texans; 12 $ Billion. But that’s just education. I’ll bet it’s twice that in CA.

Brown is just to easy on the Californians he should have least went for $.25 to make it worth their while. $.12 will not amount to anything once the politician steal the lion’s share of it.
