Your money matters – remember to give generously so Californian politicians can finance large climate projects on your behalf, assuming you have any spare cash after paying your green electricity bill.

The denizens of California deserve to have their tax dollars spent on stupidity. They, after all, voted for these nut jobs.
How’s he “fighting” it? Good grief. Direct the money elsewhere you effing leftist idiot!
It is a shame to see Cal fall so low, a State that supposed to have a very strong and very good economy.
These days many undeveloped countries with their economies hunging on the ropes, can not get much of any loans ( debt) unless priory accepting report findings that claim most of the problems are due to climate change, and even any loan amount assessed only after a change in the legislation to accommodate and secure future green projects, is achieved and put in place.
And the loans are managed usually by a selected board of green devotees.
These days many such countries, due to their very weak economies. and pure desperation for funds for development accept, with no much choice, such debt (loan) conditions.
It really is a shame to see a once shining economy, like that of California to have dropped so badly to such a low….. really a shame.
cheers

“SANTA MARIA, Calif. – California finance officials are taking greener steps to battle climate change blamed by many for the state’s chronic, devastating wildfires.”
Are there still “more greener” steps left for Californian finance officials. Let it be.
