It seems to me that it's better to allow people to have more spendable income.That helps 'LO stimulate the economy and create more jobs.

I don't see any need to unduly burden the taxpayer.

I would hope that people would feel that they achieved a greater opportunity in life living here in California than they had prior to when we came in. That they had a better opportunity of getting better education.That they had a better opportunity of getting a job once they had an education or training. And that overall, that their quality of life had improved.

I'm not an expert in it, but it seems to me that you have to let the market forces go their course.

There does need to be a speed-up of the process.It takes entirely too long to addres5 some of those concerns and, in the process, it becomes so extremely expensive and cumbersome that it tends to turn away those people and companies that want to provide much needed housing.

There have been various pesticides that have been properly tested, that have been registered and then have been used and later on they've been discoveredthat they can create harm, like in the case of this Oftanol that was being used here (in Sacramento, against the Japanese beetle). Now they find that it can cause problems at least to animals. So we stopped using it.

Every lie has 2 parts - the lie we tell others and the one we tell ourselves to justify it.
