Former Resident Disappointed
Posted by CityBlogCA on December 16th, 2007
As one born in Long Beach and a former resident for several years, I am disappointed in the quality of some of the beach communities. When I was younger, the beaches were much more pristine. My wife and family visited several of the beach communities a couple of years ago and were shocked at the noise, polution, crowds, garbage and general lake of quality. I hope California can find a way to return its beaches to a more natural state.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is going gunning. After promising “no new taxes” the Gov. wants to expand health care to the uninsured. The vehicle? Raise taxes to $2.87 per pack on cigs. Currently, the tax is 87 cents. What’s going on with CA politics, wasn’t it just a year ago that voters just reject a ballot measure that would have increased taxes on cancer sticks?
