NEWS: Institutionalized graft in the Golden State Lee DeCovnick
The Democrats in the California State Assembly really believe their constituents are fools, willing to ignore the institutionalized union graft that funds their re-election. How else to explain their party line vote to fund $8 billion for building high-speed rail, starting in the agriculturally rich Central Valley. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican from San Bernardino called the vote, “a high speed train robbery.” The issue now goes to the State Senate for a close vote on Friday.
