California’s taxpayers are still paying for this debacle. I remember lobbying hard in 2008 against Proposition 1A, the $9.95 billion general obligation bond measure that put this train wreck into motion, but to no avail. Mostly, all Prop 1A created was a mountain of lawsuits. Note to voters: When you see the word “bond,” think “I’m about to be ripped off.” Then vote no. (Hat tip to Katy Grimes for the meme.)
