California Delusionals in the Swamp taking a pot shot at Jerry Brown's 'reform'

We just learned that the U.S. Department of Labor has denied California $12 billion in transit funding, including grants from the recently signed infrastructure bill. The reason? A 1964 federal law requires the labor department to certify that the state agencies seeking any mass-transit grants are "protecting the interests of any affected employees," The Fresno Bee reported.

So, the Biden administration is claiming that California—the state that provides its public employees with unparalleled pay and pension benefits, and provides collective-bargaining rights unheard of anywhere else—is being mean to its "affected" public employees because the state passed a 2013 law, authored by Democrats, that infinitesimally reined in pension benefits.

The ultimate goal of the Delusionals is to convert BBB into a cash stimulus that goes directly to public sector pensions and wages.  There is a long standing battle for tax base, and this is just another way to get cash to the Cal teachers, mostly.
