Can't Californicatia get anything right?

Pay for, with TAXPAYERS money, 300,000 lunch boxes, distribute them (again,
using TAXPAYERS money), then decide to test three of them (at TAXPAYERS
expense), then recall them. I won't mention that this will involve
TAXPAYERS monies.

Where are the individuals that approved this thing? Are they still living
high-on-the-TAXPAYERS-hog?

I bet they approved buying the bags from China, where practically all paints
contain lead.
