SOME RESULTS FROM CALIFORNIA

By Bob Walsh

Vote Yes on Prop 36
 

Much to the irritation of Greasy Gavin, the God-Emperor of the formerly great state of California, Proposition 36 passed by about 70-30.  This makes committing crimes again illegal in CA.  It focuses especially on organized retail theft and fentanyl sales.  The thing Gavin most hates about it is that it will almost certainly increase the prison population at a time when he is closing down prisons and putting felons either in county jails or on the streets so they can commit more crimes.  In 2020 voters overwhelmingly rejected a similar proposal.  I guess they decided that they didn't like rampant lawlessness after all.  

Also Proposition 4 passed.  This kicks down about $10 billion in bond money to various warm and fuzzy projects including water storage, the thinning of forests for wildfire prevention, restoration of beaches and coastal bluffs being billed as a Climate Change project, and other potentially useful projects.
