California State lawmakers and bureaucrats are appearing more and more like members of the Stalinist-era political elite in Eastern Europe, which enjoyed a gratuitous level of luxury, power and privilege. Our lawmakers certainly are, as they snub requests for any government accountability.

Here’s the UPDATED figures on my dreary, annotated fact sheet comparing CA with the other states on 35 economic issues. I constantly update my Word file, but seldom update this blog copy.

The news, as you would expect, is not good. Tons of useful facts for this upcoming election — useful for those who disagree with our “Workers’ Paradise” model of government.
