Playing politics with the CA budget??? You don't say

Several democrats got caught with their hands in the cookie jar on Monday. The Assembly members in question were having a “frank” discussion about how lengthening the budget crisis could help them next year when they try to pass a voter amendment to the CA Constitution lowing the vote needed to pass a budget or raise taxes from 2/3 to 55%.

That members of the Assembly were talking strategy on how to gain political advantage is not news. That they want to use the current budget crisis and lengthen it and complain that not having a budget is hurting California (which it is) is sheer hypocrisy. The LA Times and the San Francisco Chronicle have stories on it.

Remember this next year when they (the democrats) want to make it easier to raise our taxes that they (the democrats) also looked at ways to prolong the budget crisis for their own political advantage.
