| Friend, California should be the greatest state in America. We have unmatched natural beauty, world-class industries, incredible resources, and hardworking families who want nothing more than a safe community and a chance to succeed. Instead, California has become the laughingstock of the nation. People are fleeing our state in droves. Our streets are filled with homeless encampments. Our roads are crumbling. Billions of taxpayer dollars disappear into failed projects, government waste, and Sacramento slush funds. And every time the politicians run out of money, they come back to hardworking Californians and demand more. Higher taxes. Higher fees. Higher costs. Worse results. It is a disaster. And it is completely unacceptable. |
