Sacramento CA 7/1/2009 The state Senate rejected three bills that would have lessened the state's immediate cash crush by billions of dollars in a surreal late-night session in which a packed Senate chamber quietly counted down the minutes to the new fiscal year. The bills' failure eliminates about $7 billion in budget solutions that had been embraced by Democrats and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and means the state will begin issuing IOUs as early as today. - Capitol Weekly.
I have had enough of this merde. What the hell in God's name do those elected officials think they are doing? The state is in financial crisis, people are moving out of the state, taxes are at an all time high and now they are starting to drive business out by their inability to solve the budget problem. They have to face facts. It's time to rewrite the state constitution. Term limits have to go. All that does is give the veteran lobbyists fresh meat every two years. In effect its the lobbyists who are running the state and they are available by the hour. Just like members of the oldest profession and I am not talking about bankers here. Ideology is getting in the way of solving a crisis. Its time to put differences aside and come up with viable solutions... or there will be hell to pay come election time... that is if there is anybody left living in the state who will be willing to vote. Grumble....
