John McGinness 2024 Primary Election Endorsements (partial list)
California Proposition 1 - Vote No
Proposition 1 purports to address the needs of homeless veterans. Yet scant reference is made to veterans in the 67-page document. It is enormously expensive and puts taxpayers on the hook for $10 billion. It is effectively credit card borrowing from Wall Street, placing enormous burden on future generations. The state of California has spent $20-billion precious taxpayer’s resource in the past five years, with the promise of resolving homelessness. The problem has gotten worse. Please do not fall for this costly and ill- advised scheme.
