OK, so I guess some legislators are taking their responsibilities more seriously than others.  As I have opined, I think that in return for a full-time salary, state legislators should be at work, IN THE CAPITOL, until there is a budget.  I know from talking to them earlier today that State Senator Dick Ackerman and Assemblyman Van Tran are in the building.  And I just got off of the phone with my own Assemblyman, Chuck DeVore, who is also in the Capitol.  As a matter of fact, DeVore has blogged about whom he has seen (and mostly hasn’t seen up there).  I guess he just missed Senator Tom McClintock, who was also in his office.

It would be great if all of our legislators would cut short their time in their districts, and return to the State Capitol and work on producing a new budget document that will pass muster with both chambers.

(The photo is of DeVore, taken just now, sitting in his office, undoubtedly waiting to talk to any other legislators from either party about moving forward in this budget process…)
