The gubenator takes lots and lots of money away from state in-home care workers, and others paid to take care of patients and invalids, as well as some benefits for those on medi-cal and medicare, and then has the fucking gall to sign for a multimillion dollar deal on a fucking football stadium in the SGV? Am I dreaming, or is this shit the shape of things to come?

PS: I lived in the SGV for 15 years, and I know how badly off some of those workers are, and we are talking some of the poorest folk in the state.

1. Not a state funded project. Bill exempts project from some requirements.

2. the stadium is being built on private property with private money, don't think much state $$
is going into this at all.

It will bring lots of jobs and tax money. dont know all the plusses and minusses tho.
