- Pacific Gas and Electric coming out against Prop 23 to suspend AB 32 doesn’t shock me. As a utility completely regulated by a government commissioner (the PUC) all of whose members have swallowed the Al Gore Kool-aid, did they have a choice?
- It seems like every July, I ponder the dysfunction of our state legislature. We had no budget – let me repeat, NO BUDGET – yet legislators are on recess instead of working collectively to get the job done. Shame on the Senate President and Assembly Speaker.
- Guess what? There is no way to solve the pension crisis without significantly reducing benefits for current employees of state and local government. Creating a “new tier” for new hires just won’t cut it. Any and all leverage to achieve these reductions is warranted.
- I don’t agree with the Fresno Bee Editorial Board all of the time. But today they ask why their local legislators aren’t in Sacramento trying to work out a budget. I agree with that. All 120 legislators should be chained to their desks, if need be – but they won’t be.
- My friends Phil Trounstine and Jerry Roberts at CalBuzz asked if FlashReport would co-sponsor a Gubernatorial debate. Ever since I agreed, they’ve been thumping on Meg Whitman. Guys, we might have more luck with a U.S. Senate debate…
- Without sending one email, my new Blackberry will drain itself of battery life in just a few hours. Could it be its 24/7 connection to Twitter, Instant Messenger and Facebook? Go figure.
