* The Center for American Progress has a piece about the Koch family and Prop 23.  The family has been very involved in the Tea Party movement…because apparently the superwealthy family can’t afford another penny!  Oh, and the family has tried this move before…see the John Birch Society.

* CalBuzz: I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore is a good start, but that won’t carry Whitman and Fiorina alone.

* You like to wash your windows while filling up? Well, sorry about that, as a large group of gas stations are going to have to remove the latches as people were sprayed with gasoline.

* PG&E’s smart meter conversions have not gone very well.

* The Governor wants to put a rainy-day fund on the ballot as part of the budget deal. Only trouble (?!) is that we are nearing the deadline to get a measure on the ballot.  Of course, there is always the fact that we don’t have enough money for today, let alone tomorrow.

* Good News/Bad News for Jerry Brown. He got an email from President Obama telling OFA folks to go to his website and sign up.  Bad news: the website crashed. The site is back live now; it appears to only have been down for a few minutes.
