The ongoing war between California state officials and the Trump administration is costing the state’s taxpayers millions of dollars, data from the California Department of Justice indicates.
Since President Trump took office in January 2017, California has filed 44 lawsuits against the administration, while the federal government has filed three against California. For the 2017-18 fiscal year, the state’s tab for legal fees has been more than $9 million – up from nearly $3 million the previous year, the Sacramento Bee reported.
State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has downplayed the costs involved in the California vs. Trump war, pointing out that it amounts to less than 1 percent of the state Department of Justice’s $894 million annual budget. He said the costs were a small price to pay to fight federal overreach.
“When you put into perspective that less than one percent of our budget is going to defend our people, our values and our resources, I think most people would say ‘Don’t stop,’” Becerra said. “[A]ny one of those items … would dwarf what we’d have to spend for all the litigation efforts that we’ve undertaken to defend the state of California against the federal government’s intrusion. …
What else would you expect from an out of control communist sanctuary state? Why can’t Moonbeam and Becerra be charged with at least sedition if not out right Treason. The state is so far in debt it will probably never get out & they are wasting more $$$$ trying to promote their communist agenda.
Vote for Steven Bailey for State Attorney General. He is our only hope.

Someone told Becerra those glasses made him look intelligent.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
It’s not CA’s War Against Trump, it is The Progressive Left’s War Against Trump……and everyone who doesn’t support their pursuit of their vision of a Marxist/Socialist Tyranny.
Wow, what a concept. Voting Judge Stephen Baily as AG would put somebody actually experienced and familiar with the law as Attorney General instead of a hack politician. Once Bracero is out of office ship his butt back to Mexico where he could run for President.
Stop paying your state taxes and that will get their attention
“one percent of our budget is going to defend our people”…..Just wondering, who are the “‘people” he’s refering to?
