That’s the mantra of the left pushing Prop 50. It’s a done deal, sadly. Who the voters are really sticking it to are their fellow Californians who live in a different areas and have different needs as citizens. But who cares about them? Whatever happened to no taxation without representation? Gerrymandering is hurting rural CA citizens, and there’s nothing they can do about it. They have no representation. Shameful.
On a side note, I’ve not be posting here for months. For some reason I’ve not added it to my bookmarks and lost track. Anyway, a quick update, looks like we’re headed out of CA towards the much more open and accepting state of Alabama. After a mere 13 months at Bama, our daughter is killing it. Currently she’s the youngest Speaker of the Student Government Association Senate, and is also the VP of the Alabama Panhellenic Society (the largest sorority system in the world). She interned in DC last summer for a Dem congressman from NJ, and made a slew of connections. Nothing here for her, she’s made her own place, and we’re happy to follow. Having the in-laws in T-town, especially with my father in law suffering from early onset, it’s great to be there.
Gas, $2.56 a gallon, too.
