Criminal Governor? The governor of California accepted three and a half billion dollars from the federal gov't to build a high speed railway and now..

says the railway is cancelled and he will NOT return the money to the federal government.

Three and a half billion is quite a bit of money to steal so publicly...at least, in my humble opinion.

Thoughts?

give it back. BUT it is worth noting

California has most every year, sent more money TO Washington

not like most of the Red States, that get, more than they give.

cali has been slipping in recent years...

folks in 36 states, get back MORE than $1 for each one sent

folks in 14 states, get back less than $1 for each $1 they spend in taxes.

note the point where it breaks from gets more to gets less per dollar
Georgia lowest negative,, California highest positive

here are some links..
