How’s that mental health tax on the rich doing so far, uh? Yeah, I’m talking to California legislators and governor.
Any new mental hospitals? Mmmm, I didn’t think so.
No different than a California gas tax or California Lottery to Education Fund, it goes elsewhere than it was politically intended for … as usual.
- season2episode3 4y agoIf you click through to the article, you will find that the governor is against the proposal. Take from that what you will, and not denying the existence of corruption in this one-party state government political machine, but the editorialized title in this hacker news post is really misleading.
- egberts1 4y ago“But you will see a measurable decline” of homelessness. Too bad, California mental health (or should I say, millionaires’) money well misspent.
- rhacker 4y agoCalifornia legislators keep "finding money" that wasn't account for and somehow are allowed to spend it without repercussions. It's very disgusting.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoTwo points: Well, if you're talking to the governor, as it relates to the topic of the article, the article starts with how he's in TV advertisements against this proposition, so not sure what your point is. This article, https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-10/california-proposition-63-mental-health-money https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-10/californ..., provides a much fairer overview in my opinion of "where the money went" than just "where are the new mental hospitals".
