The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi", then realizes he should not stop the coyote as it is only doing what's natural
.2. He calls Animal Control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the
state $200 for testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian.The vet collects the dead dog and bills the state $200 for testing it for disease.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for disease
from the coyote and for getting his bite wound bandaged.5. The running trail is shut down for 6 months, while Fish & Game conducts their $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor next spends $50,000 in state funds, implementing a "Coyote Awareness" program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease, throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not somehow stopping the attack and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State of California : $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with
additional special training re: The Nature of Coyotes.10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the state.
Arizona
The Governor of Arizona is jogging, with her dog, along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her state-issued pistol and keeps jogging.The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow-point cartridge.2. Arizona buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke.
Har dee har har har.
The Governor is protected by California Highway Patrol officers (hint that's why they get special treatment in contract negotiations and don't get furloughed).

The second one has already happened in Texas.
BTW The state Highway Patrol protects the governor in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas also.
Texas doesn't waste the Rangers on a piddly job like protecting the Governor. And neither does Arizona. Yes, Arizona has Rangers. Last time I checked the total was 26. :hi5:
California To Ban ''Coyote Killer Bullets''
$300,000 for a special legislative session because they somehow missed taking a right away from the people.
No one even considered that bullets do not do much harm without a gun to put them in.

That's the same reason Bill Clinton got out of the paternity suit from the kid a few years back:-)

Are you making decisions, based on your wisdom, or Gods?
Eternity is forever.

Hey, Nate
Having difficulty taking what you dish out?
For realism you should multiply all those costs by 10.

So I run to daddy.
He owns the place!
