Opinion: California in Flames, a Lesson for Us All - Illinois Review

  • Back when President Ronald Reagan was the governor – he served two terms, from 1967 to 1975 – California stood as the seventh ranking economic power in the world...
  • 31 years ago, in January, 1994, the 6.7 Northridge Earthquake destroyed the 10 Freeway, a critical part of the metro Los Angeles traffic system. Governor Pete Wilson rebuilt it in record time, under budget and ahead of schedule...

  • California still attracts criminal gangs, illegal aliens, welfare recipients, homeless people.
  • California restricts water rights so that its farming and ranching businesses shrink. 
  • California restricts energy production so that energy-intensive businesses have to move, because there’s no power for them to stay. 
  • California outlaws gasoline-powered vehicles, then shuts down its power plants so that people with electric vehicles cannot charge them...
