GOP State Senator Bob Huff likes the luxury car the taxpayers paid for!
Our state is broke, but we have spent over three million dollars over the past three years providing luxury cars to our state legislators.
Republican “State Sen. Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, who represents Chino Hills and part of Chino on the western end of our county, drives a Cadillac CTS that cost the state $41,300, including $4,226 for upgraded wheels and Bluetooth, according to an L.A. Times report. Huff pays $145 a month, essentially covering those upgrades,” according to the San Bernardino Sun.
Why should these legislators get free cars? Only three states do this. Isn’t it time to take away their taxpayer-funded cars?
And how can conservative Republicans expect us to believe they are conservatives when they gleefully take our money and spend it on luxury cars?
The OCTA is firing bus drivers, but Bob Huff gets to drive a taxpayer-funded Cadillac!
“California’s legislators earn at least $116,000 a year – the highest in the nation – and get $36,000, tax-free, for living expenses.”
This is ridiculous! And members of both parties have been ripping us off! All their heads belong on sticks!
Hey Art….Why don’t you get off of your Jihad against Republicans…with some 50+ Dems in the Assembly and only 20+ Republicans, your attempt to Blame Republicans is pathetic! While I am opposed to the stupid spending and stupid perks they get this is clearly a cheap shot, I expected better from you…..no, no I didn’t
Bigmarkod,
Time and again your red-faced boys behave like Democrats. You need to hold them accountable.
Huff could have rejected the car deal. Instead he ended up in a tricked out Caddie, at our expense.
I realized a long time ago that you have to put principle ahead of party.
BTW, if Ury or MacLean ever end up in Sacramento, you can but wonder what cars we will buy for them.
John Campbell bought a Saleen Mustang. The state sold it at a huge loss when he went to Congress…
Este pais va rumbo a convertirse en un tercer mundo.
Mexico siempre a sido victima de esta misma corrupcion.
Ya toda la plata esta en cuentas bancarias en el exterior- el presidente e.u Obama–es muy listo–pero tambien es una fichita.
si salio de chicago– se las sabe todas. Es tan inteligente que pudo justificar su viaje familiar a Paris— en honor de “d-day” que barbaro. Que burla para la gente que sufre las triste realidad del alto costo de vida. Estados Unidos tiene un plan maestro- los Bush vendieron el pais hace mucho tiempo. Por eso es que todos los gringos viven la pura vida en otros paises hermosos sin contaminacion.
Costa Rica y Brasil —esta repleto de grupos anglo-sajones. Y las masas peliandose por un hueso aqui en este pais–los corruptos que siguen abusando y robando. ya esta en quiebra el pais y no lo reconocen. Adonde esta el plan para destacar economicamente al nivel mundial? Chicos ahorrar ahorrar ahorrar— ya no regalen el dinero- aqui- vienen cosas peores si no hay correccion.

LATINO OWNED BUSINESS!!!!!
This blog is Latino Owned– and it happens to be your favorite one because you’re always here!!!
MAMON!
“This blog is Latino Owned”… wrong Just in Time!
This blog is Pedroza Owned and Pedroza will claim any nationality as long as such claim brings him a benefit of the affirmative action associated with that nationality, party, skin color, religion, disability etc. etc. etc.
Today Pedroza is Mexican tomorrow he will claim his Jewish ancestry so he can call you racist and hater if you will criticize him…… pathetic!
#5,
I make good coin teaching in Spanish. It is a beautiful language.
You should try learning Spanish – or use Google translator.
so if its a latino own business = spanish comes before english . here is news to you . i speak spanish so i understand everything in spanish . so if i go to mexico i expect them to cater to me and speak english to me and have all my forms in english . and when i go to the counter to order something i expect them to anwser me in english . just in case you forgot THIS IS THE U. S. A. ENGLISH COMES BEFORE SPANISH . if you think the other way go join nativio and his bunch .
Let them keep their cars and tax free living stipend, just return the legislature to its former part time unpaid status.
Or better yet, replace the cars with a family statewide bus / rail pass. And a pair of good walking shoes every other year. Oh yes and a bicycle too.
the great one,
Take a trip to Cabo San Lucas some time. You will find every business there speaks English as well as Spanish. They speak English to cater to the North American tourist and North Americans that have bought property and live there.
There are many other similar communities in Mexico.
English is the primary language in these communities.
In Italy you will get serviced any where you go in Spanish and in English. They preference to Speak to you in Spanish because they say the preference is due to America being hypocritical and egotistical.
Mexico has no issue catering to communities from around the world that either vacation there or live there.
There are no groups in Mexico worried or arguing for people to speak Spanish only when in Mexico.
You say you speak Spanish fluently, I then assume you have been in Mexico, maybe in some of these North American communities. You then know Mexico caters to you in English any where you go in Mexico.
Why then do you have a double standard in this regard?
Dr. Lomeli,
Please notice that there is a difference in catering and mandate.
Here it is I who must push #1 to speak English on the phone not Mexicans.
The Spanish is forced on us as was Russian language on the Eastern Block.
We are under Mexican occupation.
The Mexicans are not tourists here!…. They are occupiers.
Stan,
In your example Spanish is not forced on you. When placing a call English is spoken, an option is offered to communicate in Spanish. If you are in no need you simply decline the option.
The point of my #11 post was to answer #9’s post that Mexico does cater and service individuals in English. You respond with senseless ranting.
The example I gave also included North Americans buying property and living in Mexico. I guess they are occupiers too using your protectionist argument.
Most USA residents of Mexican decent are citizens as are many immigrants from where you immigrated from. They are legal residents and citizens not occupiers.
Are you saying YOUR CHILDREN are occupiers? What do you suggest we do with all occupiers?
“Occupation” generally refers to a territory being taken over by military authority. Your argument has no logic like most of what comes out of your mouth.
Are We under European, Asian, Middle Eastern, Canadian and African occupation too? These groups are part of the USA fabric. Where is the military authority from these groups to occupy?
I believe the USA is occupying Iraq. The pilgrims and later Europeans were occupiers of what is now America. Just to keep it real.
Ethnic diversity is why this country is so culturally rich and great.
Dr. Lomeli,
Please dial Santa Ana city hall and you will hear that you must first push one to speak English. It isn’t a choice which you can’t ignore. Many government phones are setup that way.
Furthermore, any one who hasn’t legal right to occupy the land and is forcing his culture on native population is an occupier.
You do not need to be military!… the intimidation by calling natives racists and haters is sufficient force.
Problem with you Dr. Lomely is that you are not civilized enough to understand the law.
The only law you recognize is the law of the jungle so, as always, I can’t conduct an intelligent discussion with you.
Fiala,
As usual you talk nonesense. Again the phone is answered in English and options given. It is smart government and business.
The great majority of individuals you refer to are here legally, the great majority are USA citizens. Don’t be so ignorant Fiala.
No immigrant group is forcing their culture on anyone. What does occur is assimilation – a sharing of cultures.
Your definition of “occupiers” is wrong and stupid, consistant with your ignorance.
The reason you can not conduct an intelligent discussion with me is because you lack intellengence.
People that know you INDEED know that you ARE PRIMITIVE.
LOL, it is like talking to this guy:

Stan,
Nice picture of you! Is that your drag queen nurses outfit?
You are a funny guy, in a sad way.
