Speaking of representing the special interests:
Quote:
As usual, the California budget is overdue (June 30 is the deadline) and everyone is bickering.
The kicker is that no one's even arguing about the budget at this point. We've actually got agreement on the budget document itself, but Arnold refuses to consider it unless Democrats agree to also toss in two completely unrelated anti-labor measures. And if they don't agree, he's threatening to campaign against a "target list" of vulnerable Democrats this fall.
So to summarize: everyone agrees on the budget. The only holdup is that Arnold is demanding some extra goodies on the side to please his corporate contributors, and if the Dems don't give it to him he's going to campaign against them.
