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?

[i]cali has been slipping in recent years...[/i]

[b]folks in 36 states, get back [i]MORE than $1[/i] for each one sent
[/b]
[b]folks in 14 states, get back [i]less than $1[/i] for each $1 they spend in taxes.[/b]

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