Cal Assemblyman Proposes Withholding Berkeley’s State Road Funds

Our good friend Melanie Morgan from MoveAmericaForward sent this to me just a few minutes ago. This is a California State Assemblyman’s proposal to punish Berkeley for it’s recent traitorous behavior on top of the already proposed Federal funds withholding effort.

SACRAMENTO — Republican Assemblyman Guy Houston of San Ramon announced plans today to punish Berkeley’s stance against Marine recruiting by withholding $3.3 million in state road funds, atop a $2.3 million federal allocation that’s now been challenged.

Meanwhile, Move America Forward — which calls itself the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization — scheduled an all-day demonstration against the Berkeley City Council on Tuesday, until the council meeting begins at 7 p.m.

The council voted last week to tell the Marines that a recruiting office is not welcome in their town.

Move America Forward today asked Berkeley to rescind its action and issue a formal apology to all military personnel. Some council members said Wednesday that they are considering actions to defuse the controversy.

Houston, the Bay Area’s lone GOP state lawmaker, said he will introduce legislation to strip Berkeley of $3.3 million in voter-approved transportation funds until Berkeley leaders rescind their “war on the U.S. Marine Corps.”

The Republican move at the state level mirrors action Wednesday by several GOP congressional members who want to punish the nationally recognized bastion of liberals by withholding $2.3 million in federal funds for a wide array of uses.
