    California:

    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"
    and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.
    2. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures coyote and bills the
    State $200 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 diseases.



    4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for
    diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

    5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts
    a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.

    6. The Governor 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 stopping the attack
    somehow 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. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

    And that's why California is broke.

    I think by Arizona you mean Texas because our governor killed the koyote with his Ruger a few months ago.

    You're probably right. If it was Arizona you would need to substitute the coyote with an illegal.
