SEIU runs show in Sacramento

It is painfully obvious that the Democratic-controlled state Senate and Assembly have given control over to the Service Employees International Union. This was supported by our governor.

Is it possible the people of California are OK with this or is it they don’t know, or don’t care? It would be very informative to know how much money changed hands to obtain the $15 per hour minimum-wage approval.

If the people of California continue to support single-party control of our state, get ready for more of the same. You might as well do away with state government and let SEIU run things.
