Speaking before the California Labor Federation in a hotel ballroom near the Capitol on Monday night, Brown criticized Republicans for holding up his plan.

 

"They think they can say, 'No, you have no right to vote.' And that's wrong," he said. "We will vote no matter what anybody says across the street."

Wasn't that bad when the Republicans just did it in Wisconsin?

That's just the start. They're going to have to do some major public union overhaul here. But here it will be ok because it's not the big bad evil Republicans. Just wait.

What, they are going to lock in even bigger raises and fatter pensions for the next ten years? I'm sure Uncle Jerry won't abondon his union buddies now.

He's talked about it. Which is rich seeing it's his fault from his last round as Gov that we're in the mess we are.

Interesting read. No mention of what went down in Wisconsin, use of phrases like "Hail Mary", and in one section, this: "Normally, a two-thirds vote of the Legislature is needed for the government to place a question on the ballot, and Republican lawyers say they will challenge any simple-majority measure in court" coupled with a reference to the republicans fighting a simply majority. Is it..."normally" or "legally"?

 

Seems to spin left.
