This is what happens when you staff government with brainless fucking morons, who are unable to use common sense and instead follows ‘the law’ because the state says so. A man broke a windshield, rescuing a family. When the ambulance arrived, he asked one of the assholes for a bottle of water to clean his hands. Because of that, the state of California sent him a bill for $143, for a fucking bottle of water.
It’s unbelievable how fucktarded this state is.
the corruption in healthcare is deep. go to a low income emergency room and you will not believe the racking up of bill. and every paranoid elderly siting home alone that calls 9!! is like $5K bill to Obamacare. the corruption is deep in our pursuit of complacency.
It’s Cowlifoneea. What else would one expect?
He wasn’t billed by the state. He was billed by a local agency, Cosumnes Community Services District.
Ridiculous to bill the man, but I understand the bind that gov’t agencies in California face.
Prop. 13 keeps growth of property-tax revenue below the growth in the cost of providing services, and other anti-tax legislation requires a supermajority vote for most new or increased taxes. As a result, even a strong majority vote for a tax increase can fall short. The agencies increasingly rely on user fees as a result.
