Question - good or bad from the rest of the country perspective? 2 out of the 3 will be very liberal - why give them 2 more senate seats? Just curious

We saw that on the news, scary part is looks like the north still gets gay area and sac. Need cut off above Sac.
By the time it could get approval from the Senate there wont be a problem because unless something changes the Dems are going to get it back this year. There has got to be a big resurgence of Republicans to keep our kind of law makers in office. Right now even with a majority there are not enough. Too many rinos and apologist. The House is the same way. Liberals are still enraged by Trumps win and are fuming to take back control. Their organizer in chief continues to give marching orders behind closed doors.
It might be even worse than that. Imagine some ass clown at a state or federal level that is in charge of righting these laws, or other EPA rules & regs. They have nothing to do but right this stuff up. You want to justify you HIGHLY PAID position right? So you pass more and more of this BS on us. What we need is someone to stand up and run for office, whatever executive office you want, that will say I am going to fire 1/2 the people in Washington, state office, local office, then get rid of the rest of the wasteful people! You used to get 100X more done with 1/4 the people. Government employment is the biggest welfare class we have. With a few exceptions, park rangers, Sec of State, etc. the only people we really need Fed gov is the military. They seem to be the only ones to ever get fired. Enough bellyaching, I am going to take my civil service test!
Yep, and that was done to appease the separatist before the Civil War.

I'd much rather see them secede from the union, and become a separate country.

Anyone read The Cadillac Desert? The move to divide Cal is all about water. Southern Cal is sucking all the water out of the rivers and lakes in Northern Cal so they can to turn desert into expensive real estate. Been going on for nearly a hundred years. Salmon, Steel Head, and Striped Bass are being sucked into canals and pumped into various reservoirs all up and down Central Cal. When you can go to a lake and catch more Salmon and Striped Bass than you can in the ocean, somethings very wrong! Whole salmon runs have collapsed, S.F. bay is silting in, what was once a great source of oysters is completely gone for the sake of a single cement plant.
Dividing the state is the only way to get around the corruption in Cal government that allows tunnels and aqueducts to be built to divert water out of rivers that flow to the ocean, and sell it to Southern Cal. real estate interests.
No true outdoorsman fails to feel a cringe in his/her stomach when they see the wanton destruction of a natural resource, especially when done for the sake of profit. The monied interests take their profits and move on, leaving the rest of us to live with the consequences....for ever.
I am a pilot who was born and raised in Northern California and lived there for 48 years before moving to Texas. In those years, flying all over California and Nevada and seeing from the air what changes are taking place, the destruction of it's abundant natural resources, eradication of Salmon runs, Trout streams, de-forestation, filling in of San Francisco Bay to build more hotels, businesses, homes. It's sickening.
I witnessed a lot of change to the landscape in those years, from a vantage point many never see. You'll never see it on TV. And like any place in America you'd care to mention, once it's gone, it's gone forever. You may think Californians are loony for wanting to protect their environment, but if you've ever lived there and seen for yourselves the abundant natural beauty that used to exist before being plowed into real estate, you would probably feel as they do. This is truly a last stand to protect it's greatest natural resource now, or lose it forever.

I lived there for a year. I was 20 and was drawn by the stories of cool, laidback people, great weather and beaches full of pretty girls. I lasted a year. Most of the people I met were self centered cliquee social climbers. Most of the girls wouldn't talk to me cause I didn't wear the right clothes or drive the right car. They did have good weather.

Ive worked at i think every power plant there. Probably a year total time over the past 20. Love north cali. People are great. Delta fishing is some of my favorite.
I lived there for about 22 years.
I have 60 years of my life in this state (CA). I'm sickened by what it has become!

Not new. Anything having any amount of some CA listed hazardous materials has to have this warning. Been that way for quite a while. Does a great job at desensitizing people to warning labels.
