California bill would ban stays at Trump hotels for state employees

Good. Public servants who spend the people's tax dollars shouldn't stay at luxury hotels anyways.

From Andrew O'Reilly at Fox News:

"“This bill would prohibit a state agency, as defined, from paying, reimbursing an employee, providing a per diem allowance, or contracting for the cost of lodging, procuring a good or service, or any other expense at a lodging establishment where the owner, as specified, is the President of the United States,” the bill reads.

Trump’s hotels, however, are not popular with state workers in California – especially since the average going rate for a room at one of his resorts far exceeds the $90 per night state employees are authorized to spend on a hotel room.

If passed, Low’s proposed measure wouldn’t be the first time California has put restrictions on travel by state employees.

In 2017, Attorney General Xavier Becerra added Texas, Alabama, South Dakota and Kentucky to the list of places where state employee travel is restricted after lawmakers passed legislation the previous year banning non-essential travel to states with laws the state claims discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. North Carolina, Kansas, Mississippi and Tennessee are already on the list."

I approve. These insufferably sanctimonious Californiacs should be prevented from venturing out of their sh!thole state to pester us normal folks.
