I predict a mass exodus from California to Montana, Idaho, and other
militia-friendly states. Property values are sure to drop. The clock is
ticking for all Californians.
WHAT?
No link to a 5,000 word article that has one paragraph about this,
2/3 of the way down?
They're going to release prisoners due the budget problems.

George is talking about a prior judge ruling that ordered them to
alleviate overcrowding and before that was a judge that ordered
improved health care for prisoners
California spends 49K/year/inmate. That's only 10K above the avg
household income in Ca. Still the savings to release inmates won't
be realized.
Jails won't close, guards won't be laid off etc etc. Maybe the food
costs will be reduced but that's a fraction of the cost of housing an
inmate.
