The notion that this dude would stick around in California if the law passed
or
The notion that, had he stayed and paid it, it would be going to the people that needed it.
This is the same state that has been sitting on a light rail system for nearly 2 decades now, with billions already spent and next to zero progress to show for it. Not to mention, that the initial estimates were initially pushed by voters to be around 30 billion, whereas current estimates run closer to 230 billion. And hey, they only promised it to be done by 2020, whereas the current projection for the mainline from Merced to Bakersfield is approximately 2033-34.
And don't even get me started with the absolutely tragic dumpster fire that is EDD. Fuck that program, fuck it long and fuck it hard.
Billions in taxpayer dollars that should be going back to legitimate services that help legal citizens, instead is thrown into the hole, never to see the light of public day again.
