Our beautiful but f'd up state is trying to merge the self sufficient OHV program with the money deficient state parks system, which is not good...Anyways, just doing my part.
Here's a link where any Californian can send an email and voice their thoughts...Please read it...

Do you know why your state stopped having beauty pageants ?
Cause no one wanted to be Miss I DA HO.
Ha
Government that is.
Here in Morgantown they tried for years to get a permanent tax levy for anyone who worked or lived in the City Limits.
3 dollars a week, every week of the year, to help with the roads in the City.
Well, they finally got it passed last Fall.
Funny, in the fine print of the law, any monies received by The City deemed over and above what they need to keep the roads in good shape would be diverted to the City Police, Fire Department, or any organization deemed worthy
by the head of the Roads Dept.
2 months ago, before any road was improved with those funds that were just coming in, the Police Chief was on the radio, discussing what he was going to do with his Departments share.
Before any road was improved, before the money was even in the bank, they already are spending it on whatever they want.
It ain't just Kal I for ni a, it's just Government, and it's everywhere.
Remember the series on HBO, Deadwood?
There was a whorechaser, a murderer, a conniving company man that ended up hanging himself.
A few days before he did himself in, he uttered a great line.
Something along the line of I have been a sinner, and done many a terrible thing, and expect no quarter when I meet my maker. But, in my defense, I have never been a Government Worker.
The Governor’s 2016-17 proposed Budget includes a repayment of $112 million from the Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trust Fund, and a one-time transfer of $31 million of fuel tax revenues currently in the OHV Trust Fund to the State Parks and Recreation Fund in order to maintain service levels across the State Parks system.
The public said don't do it, as did the lawyers. They did it anyway.
When it finally went to court the court said "Um, no...you can't just create your own tax district. You don't have authority."
They were supposed to go back and refund everybody but I don't know how that went.
Although its 2014-15 budget was balanced, California’s state government ended the fiscal year $175.1 billion in the red, thanks largely to state retirement obligations that had to be included in its balance sheet for the first time.
This is a repeat of the fund robbery in the 90s, when that got "fixed" and the money went to OHV projects the riding in my area went all to hell...
It's the same as if the state took boat registration money and used it to drain all the lakes...
Pit Row
California has around $300 billion in unfunded public employee pension debt up from about $70 billion ten years ago.
A few months ago Brown stain announced his balanced budget, the largest ever. And shortly afterwards a couple different plans to raise money for road repair was pitched. Before the new budget is implemented it is now something like $1 Billion short. In the most recent quarterly carbon auction only 12% of expected credits were sold and only 5% of expected revenue was raised, I believe $250 million short for the quarter.I don't think there was a news conference for that.
Meanwhile Los Angeles County is looking to Sacramento for legislation to allow county imposed income tax. Do you think LA County Board of Supes would be interested in a flat tax equal for all. They are already pursuing a " millionaire's" tax in the name of raising money for the homeless.
Sacramento politicians had to be forced to include this information. As an official separate line item this debt will be easier to track, as long as accounting stays uniform, as it follows the substantial and unsustainable annual increases.
Currently $4,000+ debt for every single person in California for unfunded pension liability's. Doing the math by taxpayer or family it is much higher. Billions more owed on bonds.
Governor Brown continues to push the train. It is possible a Governor Newsome would end the madness but billions will be wasted until and after the project ends. High speed rail "commission" members get a lot of money, massive amount of litigation that taxpayers fund on both ends and eventually politically connected construction company's will get settlements for lost revenue as contracts are delayed and cancelled. Senator Feinstein's husband is involved in a group that has been awarded a nearly $1 billion dollar contract, they will profit even if no work is done.
With all the voter "bribing" and the (approaching) 2 generations of indoctrinated voters, it just might be too late...
