you can cut many things to solve your states’ economic and budgetary crisis. But the one thing you don’t mess with is the health of the people!!! By defunding these places and programs about AIDS, HIV and health in general, YOU UNCORK A GENIE THAT MAY NEVER BE STUFFED BACK INTO THE BOTTLE. YOU HAVE RIPPED THE LID OFF OF A VERY HORRID PANDORA’S BOX of unhealthy conditions CA may never recover from a public health crisis of untreated and incurable viral diseases like HIV/AIDS. Not every one is a rich millionaire able to afford all kinds of major medical and very expensive treatments and drugs for their HIV/AIDS.

Killing public health programs is a very, very,very bad move that will plunge California into another crisis, a health crisis than can permanently cripple California economically, and many other ways.

If population is not able to safely repopulate itself without risk of contracting HIV/AIDS or other incurable diseases in the process, it could very well not only PERMANENTLY devastate the economy but the population could very well wipe out do to lack of ability to safely replace the old and aging with a new and productive young generation.
That along with education. Something to think about Gov.

Yes, we lost some ground with the passage of Prop. 8, but CA still has Statewide Domestic Partnerships, with nearly ALL of the same rights, benefits and legal protections as civil marriage, but without the name “marriage”.

Sorry, but California is still golden in my eyes. Especially compare to other states, like Arizona!
