I think the real problem is the enviro wackos, and the fact that California
is spending more than it receives on excessive salaries, benefits, and
retirements (largely unfunded) to government workers, excessive pay to state
contractors, and spending all sorts of money to pay people not to work. No
funds left for infrastructure.
