In reply to the discussion: California Faces Huge Budget Surplus [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,869 posts)That is what is needed where I live as there is little if any of it to be found.
If you cannot drive any more, you must take a taxi into town and back for ~$85.00.
This situation needs to change as the rural areas of the state are losing residents quickly as there are no jobs and things are indeed in quite a depressed state (always have been here; likely always will be).
Also, Gov. Brown, the roads in this state need lots of work. Too many potholes and too many problems with the infrastructure had you not noticed. I heard the Bay Bridge was a fiasco and perhaps a major problem as well because, it was not built right and it has major risks associated with it.
I could go on and on and on, but I won't.
Lots to be done with this surplus and I rather suspect it could be quickly gone in a *flash* just like we've seen in the past.
Luckily, Gov. Brown is a prudent man and I hope his vision for the environment continues to be a major force in his plans for this state (i.e. public transportation!).
