Government is the enemy of the State.
"This week I witnessed first hand everything that is wrong with California, and it’s happening at the hands of many of the state’s 40 senators and 79 Assembly members.
Sen. Roderick Wright, D-Los Angeles, has authored two very “good government” bills that were summarily killed in a committee, and on the nastiest of partisan issues. And the bills were killed by his own party.
Two bills, SB 560 and SB 688, were presented by Wright to the Senate Environmental Quality Committee Wednesday. The bills attempted to give some regulatory oversight to the Legislature, instead of allowing state agencies to implement regulations without legislative involvement.
SB 688 would require a regulatory agency to notify the Legislature if the estimated cumulative costs for affected businesses will exceed a certain amount of money. In this case, Wright chose $10,000,000 as the total cost, but said he was open to any amount. The purpose for the bill, Wright explained, was that too many of California’s regulations have forced small businesses to either go bankrupt or close because of the cost of implementing regulations.
SB 560 would prevent a regulatory agency from requiring businesses to retrofit equipment until the technology is commercially available. Wright said that regulations are created, implemented and penalties are even assessed on businesses, when the technology is still not even commercially available."
Democrats have determined that business must use technologies that have not been created YET. In otherwise, Democrats demand that our businesses close down.
Now you understand why firms are leaving as quickly as possible. Now you know why the cost of living is so high in this State. Even if the technology is available, it might be too expensive--but the Democrats are demanding it, regardless of availability or cost.
Angry Yet?
