California's State of Affairs

I have to say I was quite happy to read that the Commission voted today to cut state lawmakers' pay by 10%. It's about time these guys paid some of the price along with the rest of us!

No More Taxes

California rebelled yesterday and vetoed all the proposed taxes that were supposed to help balance the budget. Amen to that! Taxing folks who are already taxed to the hilt, not to mention unemployed and struggling, isn't the way to solve the budget crisis. What they did pass, though, was the one proposition that will prevent the legislature from getting their pay increases and the like while the budget goes unfixed. Way to go, Golden State! Fight back!

And yippee! The judges' fix didn't work, and Shawn Johnson won Dancing with the Stars! I screamed I was so happy! Way to go, Shawn!
