Karen Bass is a trout

State goes under auctioneer's hammer?

“ They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair. ”
Professor Van Helsing  has more about this ... this nincompoop.  But, can we talk?

California's broke, and it's entirely the fault of gross mismanagement  by the state's Democrats who control the legislature.  The same people who run our House of Representatives, btw.  So, now they're issuing IOU s.   That instrument is nothing more than an unsecured bond, and worth as much.  What should be happening are foreclosure sales.  I'm dead serious.  State property- buildings, land (including parks and seashore), and all real property ought to go under the auction hammer with the proceeds going to pay off their current debt.  The only exemptions are police and emergency medical services (and that does not include Medi-Cal).  How much am I bid for the Governor's mansion, (Maria Schwarzenegger Shriver and lampshades included)?

Hey Rodg, spose they could turn a pretty penny auctioning off the Presidio and, perhaps, Alcatraz Island? OOOPPPSSSS! That be a federal possession, not Kaliphornie; see www.nps.gov/alcatraz. Oh well, it seemed a good idea at the time.

Offshore oil leases would solve the problem. Oh, you ask, how would that solve the problem of all the liberal MFCS running Kalifornia? Because the news of offshore drilling would make all their heads explode, that's how.

She thinks people in public office shouldn't have to respond to the people they rule. There's a word for that kind of government.... what is it....

An RT bus pass and a pack of Milk Duds for the mansion. But NO Maria or else I'm not moving back home to River City.

To give you some idea of the geniuses running the state: they believed some bought-and-paid-for-by-the-union actuary when he said that the NASDAQ bubble, the dot.Com bubble, the bio-tech bubble and the cooked books at Enron meant that they could spend whatever they wanted without a care in the world. The only way to get out of these liabilities is going thru bankruptcy.

Dan Walters: Pension hike of a decade ago backfires

A milestone on California's meandering journey toward fiscal insolvency occurred exactly a decade ago when the Legislature enacted a massive increase in state employee pensions on the expedient assumption that it would cost taxpayers nothing... the CalPERS board, dominated by union representatives, told legislators that taxpayers wouldn't have to bear the load because investment income, which was flowing into the pension trust fund from high-tech stocks, would continue indefinitely.

Good enough for them, I say.

Let 'em sink.

Hey AWM,
NO bureaucrat, elected official, or any other person in government RULES any of us. You have apparently been exposed to too much of their usurpation and have come to believe it is how things should be which is why the word rolled off your tongue so readily. You need to recalibrate your opinion about who's actually at the controls. At least, up to the time "Teh Wun" completes his shredding of the Constitution because WE are allowing it to happen as we watch in amazement, clucking our tongues.
