Slow news day. The Governor is up in the North State doing some photo ops and raising money from his corporate friends. Who celebrates their birthday by fundraising? Moreover, who pretends that a day two days before their birthday is their actual birthday so they can have an excuse for fundraising? Clearly not me. But Schwarzenegger, yes.
Free CNA hat to the first person who went to one of these events and can tell me if the atmosphere was depressed or in denial.
The only thing the papers covered much is that the on-again, off-again Prop. 80 on the special election ballot is...on-again, for now. Apparently, it's probably illegal but the California Supreme Court says let's figure that out afterwards.
Did you think this election would stop looking like a circus? Well you were wrong.
Marc Lifsher in the LA Times writes the story:
"If passed, it would remove one of the few remaining features of California's 1996 electricity deregulation law. Its most important provision would ban large consumers such as businesses and institutions that aren't already doing so from buying their electricity from independent power marketers rather than from utilities. "
The other story in the papers is that the Governor's budget initiative has had its title lightly re-written to focus less on its devestating impact on school budget. Gary Delsohn wrote that story for the Sacramento Bee.
