The Mod Squad’s actions will not be tolerated.  That is the message Perata sent with the removal of Sens. Calderon and Correa from the Appropriations Committee.  This is in response to their vote against Cedillo’s bill on the homeless and hospitals.

Darrell Steinberg and Joe Simitian get their slots, following a Senate Rules meeting that Perata orchestrated.  With these two new Senators in place, Sen. Cedillo will bring up the bill again next week and it is expected to proceed.

This is not the first time that Correa and Calderon have gotten into hot water with Perata.  They came under fire for attending the fundraiser for the “Mod Squad” earlier this year.  See Cap Weekly for more. (h/t to Salladay)
