During a recent online segment of HBO's 'Real Time,' host Bill Maher stated that corruption in California is linked to government unions and special interests, according to Breitbart.

California Republican gubernatorial nominee Steve Hilton expressed that a longstanding system in Sacramento is maintained by an alliance of government unions, special interests, and teachers' unions, which he claims control politicians.

Hilton argued that this corruption is a key reason housing development in California is hindered, as unions allegedly bribe politicians to enact restrictive laws on construction.

Maher added that voters' concerns about corruption also include perceptions of 'Trump corruption,' referring to side deals associated with former President Trump, highlighting differing views on corruption.

The discussion reflects ongoing debates about the influence of unions and special interests in California's political and economic landscape, particularly regarding housing policy.
