Well, if I’m around and have a chance to surf the web, I’ll grab stories of interest.
The Feds are still investigating Senate President Don Perata, and in a subpeona battle with U.S. Representative John Doolittle:
Sac Bee – Conflict delays Doolittle case
SF Chron – Justice Dept. asks reporters for help in Perata case
The Governor’s calling a special session to deal with a massive overspending problem.
SF Chron – Governor predicts $3.3 billion revenue shortfall by end of June
LA Times – Gov. considers major cuts in services
Worth clicking on to see the cool photo of Assemblyman Todd Spitzer…
Sac Bee – Prison releases ‘DOA,’ foe says
Senator Mark Ridley Thomas is running for LA County Supervisor, and has been performing "cashectomies for "charity":
LA Times – Senator taps unions, firms to help L.A. charity
Oh, and on a final note — perhaps there is some savings associated with the boondoggle health care plan after all. From reading the transcripts of both the Governor’s weekly radio address, and that of Assembly Democrats (given this week by Assemblyman Albert Torrico), it looks like the same speechwriter wrote BOTH addresses – how cost-effective!. (h/t to the CA Progress Report for carrying the Torrico radio spot)
