Why Can't We Vote On a Peripheral Canal?

(Because the finaglers know darn good and well they do NOT have the votes of the people of California which is why they have to ramrod this swindle down our throats or up an orifice depending on where one resides within the state.

Well, vote or no vote, corruption and collusion are federal crimes...it's just a matter of time.)

California Gamesmanship
http://www.foxandhoundsdaily.com/2012/07/california-gamesmanship/
Once again, we have seen the Legislature engage in what can only be called its particularly unique form of California gamesmanship – a word defined as “the use of methods that are dubious or seemingly improper but not strictly illegal.
