Have a nice weekend! Next week Calitics will be coming to you from the California Democratic Party convention, so we’ll have a full slate for you.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Calitician Dave Dayen will speak about the special election at a meeting put on by the West LA Democratic Club and Southern California Americans for Democratic Action. <\/p>\n
Sunday, April 19, 2009, 2 PM \u2022 More terrible job news<\/a>, as the unemployment rate has skyrocketed to 11.2%, with a loss of 62,000 jobs in March. I don’t see a way back for quite a while.<\/p>\n \u2022 Interior Secretary Ken Salazar got an earful<\/a> from Californians in a public comment session in San Francisco about offshore drilling. Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, Lt. Gov. John Garamendi and Sen. Barbara Boxer<\/a> in particular offered heated comments in opposition. Hopefully the Interior Secretary will listen.<\/p>\n \u2022 Just a reminder, when you hear all this talk about “greedy public employees,” that California has the second-lowest ratio of state workers per capita<\/a> in the entire nation. And with a state spending cap, we’d have even less. <\/p>\n \u2022 Santa Monica City Councilman Bobby Shriver will not run for Attorney General<\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n \u2022 A pretty remarkable story<\/a> out in the Inland Empire, where warehouse workers at a temp agency decided to sit-in to protest their treatment. Video here<\/a>. Tom Woodruff has a great piece<\/a> about the Depression in the IE and the implications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have a nice weekend!
