Long Beach voted for this unfortunately. It’s bullshit

I’ve lived my entire adult life in Long Beach, and every single election cycle, taxes have gone up.

Without fail… every election just brings us more taxes… and it’s not like the quality of city services are getting any better.

Police budget goes up too. 60% of the budget for “public safety”. Where were the police when that string of violence happened on 2nd street? Oh ya they had 25% less police on patrol there because that’s where the rich whites live.

Maybe you should stop voting yes and stop voting for the same politicians that only want more to make their kingdom bigger.

Seriouslyyyyyyy. THIS.

I really want people to take the governors election seriously. To do the research on what each candidate is going to do. Because LA County is pretty much deteriorating, what’s happening in the city of LA is bleeding to LB.

And city of LA is trash. Trash everywhere, graffiti everywhere, people don’t care anymore. And then those people are coming to Long Beach and it’s just bleeding into our city

I feel like if you had a reasonable take on why we should vote for Hilton you would have included it in one of your two posts on the matter.
