Migden gives up her Gavel…for now!

Anthony York over at Capitol Weekly is reporting this afternoon that State Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Carole Migden is ‘temporarily’ stepping aside from her influencial post.  Her stated reason, according to this piece by York, is to get more involved with the Westly for Governor Campaign.

The real question is whether Westly wants her that involved.  You see, Migden is notorious for her inability to hold on to key staff members — she just isn’t a kind boss.  Well, we’ll see how this all shakes out. 

Of course, everyone remembers this now-infamous controversy when Migden reached over and cast an "AYE" vote (my button) of a GOP Assemblymember.
