July 6 Open Thread

Links:

* Meg Whitman, in her final years as eBay CEO, presided over a huge slump for the company.

* Looks like the last remaining votes will carry Asm. Mike Villines over the top for his quest for the GOP nomination for InsComm. Hopefully Dave Jones will make him wish that perhaps he didn’t win that primary.

* Sen. Boxer kicked off a Jobs Tour, speaking today with SF Mayor (and LG Nominee) Gavin Newsom.

* Hey, lookathat…some folks understand the reason behind taxes. Lobster fisherman are lobbying to place a $300 fee on themselves for a fisheries management system.

  1. Just saw a piece on the news tonight that Long Beach is considering a tax on medical marijuana, and patients are obviously very much against this.

    So… what’s the view here?  Aren’t we supposed to be in favor of legalizing marijuana… and then taxing it?  But won’t it adversely hurt patients who need it?  Or do we only tax “recreational” marijuana?  I mean, how’s it supposed to work, exactly?
