I’m going to have to hit the sack now, I’m actually on NPR’s Tell Me More with Michel Martin in the morning (check your local listings), not talking about the California budget but about health care. So I needs my beauty rest.
Feel free to chat and hopefully Robert can take you through.
UPDATE by Robert: I’ll be here for a bit longer. Assembly just approved AB 22, which includes the sale of the OC Fairgrounds.
…Capitol Weekly reports long delay in Senate is due to lack of votes for thieving local government funds. “Steinberg says both Dem and Reep caucuses are searching for votes.” We’ll see how that goes.
…to quickly update, the oil drilling provision barely passed the Senate, 21-18. Sen. Steinberg says he has the votes to put through the local government raid and he’ll do so by 6:30AM.
…the Senate got the minimum required votes for the takings of local gov’t money, including the redevelopment agency securitization. They managed to bang that through, with several Republican votes. The Senate passed the entire budget and they’re done. The Assembly is still working through it. The Republicans are in a caucus.
The Democratic caucus realizes they should be ashamed of the crap they will vote for under the “cover” of darkness.
Their caucus logo should be a chicken pooing.
at the end of the session. It was really revolting.
What’s the easiest way to see how everyone voted for these bills?
