Earmarks fill water bond to the brim

Full story: Daily Democrat

Business as usual and we go even further into debt with so little of it actually being spent wisely on water. I do hope the voters will reject this bond issue. The "sales hype" will probably sound to good to be true and they will pass it.

I'm with "Old and in the way" - the idiots can't help themselves. We need to kill this at the ballot box and maybe vote for an initiative to make them a part time legislature with about 1/3 of their current pay.

Fire em all, whatever party.

I would also concur. Despite the not too distant referendum (Props 1A -1F) where CA voters clearly voiced our position to our lawmakers, they continue with the 'business as usual' attitude?

What's it going to take to get these people in both Sacramento and Washington DC, WHO WORK FOR US, to get it?

Great..another California Pork Barrel project! I for one have decided that I won't vote for the Bond Measure. I had planned to but now that our great leaders have feathered their own nests.. no way. I say vote them all out and get back to a part time legislation.
