Jerry Brown's piggy bank
« on: August 02, 2012, 10:06:10 PM »
CA is saved! The government has been hoarding millions (or billions?) and they didn't know about it.  =|

And here, I thought it was the evil rich conservatives that hoarded their money to make Obama look bad.

You really have to wonder just how much longer this "system" is going to last.  Bad faith, top to bottom.  Who is John Galt?

i wonder who made the discovery, and who was responsible for squirrelling it away?  it amazes me that it has been there through three governors, and jerry is the one responsible for finding it.
make the world idiot proof.....and you will have a world full of idiots. -g2

$54 MM?  Isn't that about just enough to cover the pension of the average small town police chief in Ca.?

What they didn't point out in the story is that at least some of the money was collected from OHV users and was set aside to be used only for OHV reasons.
