* Sen. Yee is pushing for an audit of the UC system and the Governor’s financial ties to it.
* Rep. Baca is pushing a new bill to prevent investors from bidding on a foreclosed home where Fannie or Freddie Mach has a loan interest until fifteen days after it goes on the market. In theory, it could help home buyers get into a home and stop losing out to all-cash investor offers. Maybe…

How about he works on getting it so that the UC academic senate appoints nominees to the board of regents instead of the governor? It would be a substantial step forward over his previous harebrained idea of trying to nuke the UC’s independence and it would likely help prevent even the appearance of this type of impropriety in the future.
That said, this looks like it may be a disappointing development, I hope the audit proceeds and clears the UC of wrongdoing, though perhaps that’s too much to hope for, we really don’t need another scandal right now.
Right now on Fox11 in L.A., they’re reporting yet another Rasmussen poll just released that shows Barbara Boxer (D) is ahead of Carly Fiorina (R) only by a 46%-42% margin. Here are the margins.
Now, see, this would be more believable had the margin been greater in the Boxer-DeVore matchup. Something just doesn’t smell right when DeVore and Fiorina get the EXACT same percentage of the vote. It just doesn’t. Both Field and PPIC don’t have DeVore breaking the 40% barrier. And even with the Fiorina matchup, Rasmussen’s the only pollster that shows even Fiorina higher than 40%.
