Susan, the reason the article contains so much from Hauck is that he was the main speaker and the focus of the debate at the joint hearing that was the basis for the article. I also thought Cal Watchdog readers would be interested in his criticisms of California’s dysfunctional government.

Teddy, I reallllllllllly hate to say this, but I missed you yesterday 😉

Anything that opens the door for state taxes to be redistributed against rural counties cannot be considered viable or to use a word from the left, ‘fair’.

It does have some quality thought to putting funds back in local hands but I didn’t see enough in the bill itself or written opinion to show enough accountability.

We will get a winner in this regard sooner or later.
