California is bankrupt. California is in a Great Depression. But the city of Rosemead in the San Gabriel Valley wants to use tax dollars to build a skate park.
This is either corruption or city officials who need mental health care, immediately.
"A recent Pasadena Star-News article captured the absurdity of what’s going on: “Rosemead officials may or may not want a skate park, but one thing is certain — they don’t want the state to get any of the money the city would use to build it. So last week City Council members put the skate park ... on a list of projects slated to be funded with city redevelopment funds.”
Cities are spending money on projects they don’t even need or want — simply to keep the cash away from the state. State Treasurer Bill Lockyer rightly complained, after the Los Angeles community redevelopment agency took the first step in diverting $930 million in redevelopment funds to the city, that cities should engage in discussion rather than engage in “provocative acts of gamesmanship."
More proof government has too much money--Rosemead choosing a skate park over cops and libraries---Jail the city officials or hospitalize them--they need the help.
