Oh, and I don’t see Jerry’s high speed train thru podunk Hwy 99 farmbelt actually ever coming to fruition. CA could most definitely fund the courts much better than it has in recent years, though. It takes ridiculously long to litigate anything these days, filing fees have almost quadrupled in the last 15 years and the clerk’s offices have been majorly dysfunctional for over ten years now, due to lack of staff (no budget to replace recent retirees, including judges). It now takes 4-6 months just to get a judge’s signature on a stipulation or post-judgment order (where the parties made an agreement and a court date is not needed). Their lines are inordinately long and they don’t even have enough people to collect fines!
