  The COVID-19 pandemic exposed California’s fiscal mismanagement in countless ways, most spectacularly in the payment of more than $30 billion — some estimates put the total as high as $55 billion —in fraudulent unemployment benefits.

Martin Luther King Jr. famously endorsed the view, stating in his 1963 speech, “I have a dream that my four little child
