I bet only 220 are needed!!!!
I gather illegals whether amnesty or not–will cost more dollars in many ways. There is NO reform for fraud, extremely high union salaries, payoffs to those who elected the sorry officials, ridiculous pension payouts, and these politicians don’t care–just find a way to keep taxing.
No emphasis on job creation either.
Unreal.

Look at the drainage channals, all the fencing is rusted, no program or effort to maintain the fencing or clean the channals is in place that I have ever seen. And the roads in neighborhoods and main drags have all seen better days.

The tax money is being looted by RAGWUS feeders that are only concerned about all the money waiting for them in retirement. Government unions are the Bolsheviks of our time. 🙂

The roadway systems are crumbling and I’m not seeing much desire to improve them, let alone rebuild them. What’s interesting to notice is when you cross over the state-line from CA to NV (on HWY 80), you immediately notice the improvement in the pavement on the NV side. And NV has snowfall once a year which can create havoc for pavement and why they re-pave each year. But it seems CA has ignored their responsibility to the very people who stuff their pocketbooks. There are other instances of a mismanaged state that I could highlight but what’s the point! (And CalWatchdog does a great job of that to their credit!) It will only fall to deaf ears! In the meantime, it will continue to erode!
