When will California become a military retirement friendly state? Many veterans are still looking to retire in other states because of attractive retirement benefits. This state caters to everyone why not military?
will anyone PLEASE address the huge “elephant in the room” issue
that is the alleged Pandemic ( that is the response to yet another round of seasonal flu ) has been totally out-of-line, the Government Governs Best when it Governs LEAST. problem here is heavy handed & totally wrong response by all those on the public pay-roll.
tens of thousands of Doctors have stated “Don’t take the alleged vaccine, its bad” & Now the CDC has mandated the alleged vaccine for 6 month old babies. and the “vaccine” has ZERO long term safety data.
How about we take the money lost from veteran retirement taxes and those who dedicated their lives to our nation from wasteful programs that promote incentives and benefits for illegal immigration and discriminating woke programs pushing political agendas. I have been a resident of California for two years only because I retired from the military here. I will jump on the first opportunity to leave as our state government is not military friendly. Seem more of lip service to pretend they are military friendly when reality is they only are if it benefits their reelection. Can’t buy land, can’t buy a home, taxes all around are outrageous, and gas prices are ridiculous. Maybe when I am forced to drive an electric car i can afford to live in this state lol.
AB 1623 — Personal Income Taxes: Exclusion: Uniformed Services Retirement Pay: Survivor Benefit Plan Payments. This bill reads to exclude retired veterans under the age of 60. It should be inline with many other states that include all retired veterans who have given 20+ years of service. California loses a large number of veterans annually due to the taxation of military retired pay and property taxes, while other states are more military friendly and absorb this qualified workforce. It may be all about the money for the state, but you are losing a large number of folks who put money back in to the state regardless of the taxes on their military retirement pay and contribute to the workforce. It is not like military retired members just stop working and lives off of their retirement pay. We get better paying jobs that we are taxed on and the state still gets their money. When you do not create the incentives to keep us, you will lose to other states where we can flourish and get the most bang for our buck.
I SERVED TWO TOURS ONBOARD THE USS INTREPID CVS 11 DURING THE VIETNAM WAR AND BEEN TRYING FOR SOMETIME TO LEARN IF IT WAS LISTED AS A WAR SHIP THAT QUALIFIES FOR AGENT ORANGE. AS STATED
“1966 COMBAT IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
In 1966, Intrepid was converted to a “special attack carrier” and was deployed to Vietnam, where the ship served three tours of duty between 1966 and 1969. Aviators bombed strategic targets in North and South Vietnam as part of Operation Rolling Thunder.
VIETNAM WAR VICTORIES AND LOSSES
Intrepid aviators attacked a range of targets, including transportation links, petroleum resources and industrial facilities. Intrepid pilots scored two shoot-downs of North Vietnamese aircraft. Three pilots became prisoners of war, and 21 men lost their lives in combat or in operational accidents.
In 2019, began to use state legal marijuana verses federally approved opioids such as OxyContin, fentanyl and morphine.
As a woman, I served for sovereignty not citizenship. USMC 100 % disabled. My son also served; yet, my government punishes and criminalizes veterans that educate themselves about opioids.
Opioids are the root cause of opioid overdose deaths not marijuana
I have been struggling with homelessness for 3 years now. I am denied ptsd treatment because I’m homeless and use state legal marijuana instead of VA morphine
I am recovering from surgery and I’m staying in a hotel to heal instead of my suv. No rehabilitation rooms, no hotel vouchers to offset costs, plus I earn you much for food stamps.
Address the conflict between state and federal laws regarding marijuana but especially medical marijuana
My uncle, Cease Haars, was a prisoner of war in the battle of the bulge. He said one time a guard gave his section a cooked potato. The 6 prisoners divided the potato 6 ways and was glad they got it. When my uncle came home he was mostly bones and not much muscle. He lived a full life and worked mainly in a John Deere manufacturing company, Had two boys, and past away about 4 years ago.
