Just another note on how Jerry Brown is directing the erection of the tombstone over California’s grave. This from Mike Brownfield:

But opposing automated checkout machines and imposing new restrictions on local governments to void union contracts weren’t the only victories. The L.A. Times reports that all told, Brown signed more than a dozen labor-backed bills “ensuring prevailing wages for trash haulers, increasing fines for employers who violate labor laws and restricting the use of non-union contractors for certain state services.” Brown also signed a bill that would move all statewide ballot initiatives to November ballots, giving unions a leg up on a measure that would affect their ability to use union dues for political purposes.

Nationally, Big Labor is hard at work trying to cement and expand their power, too. Unions have lobbied the Obama Administration to change the rules of the game to make unionization easier, prevent private employers from locating in right-to-work states–as the NLRB is doing with Boeing case in South Carolina–and pushing for more government spending on infrastructure projects that employ primarily union members.

Unfortunately for Californians, Gov. Brown is putting union interests before those of the state. And unfortunately for Americans, President Barack Obama is doing the same.

I’m sure that Brown expects millions more to flow into his pocket for this payoff to big labor.

Democrats are the death of every state.
