March 8 Open Thread

* The Census Data came out today. I haven't had the chance to review it, but well, there's lots of it. The state has grown by a couple million since 2000 and has changed its composition.  More details as I analyze a bit further.

* Tomorrow, the owner and the "safety officer" of the labor company that was monitoring the conditions during the death of Maria Isabel in 2009 are expected to settle on a plea deal that will get them no jail time whatsoever.  UFW has additional details on the story as well as a contact form to send the DA an email opposing this deal.

* Yay, the Senate will pass the cuts on Thursday.  Sooo...hurting the middle and lower class, check.  Still waiting on where the "shared sacrifice" part comes in.

* We had been getting some good news on the revenue front.  Turns out it might just be that more money was withheld than in previous years, and tax refunds are bigger than expected.

Shared Sacrifice huh (5.00 / 2)
Yeah right, I've been sacrificed alright, How about the legislature cut their pay to what I get? Which currently is $845 a month, Which soon will be $830 a month, Thanks Ya Backstabbers(the Legislature), So how about the 120 elected members take a pay cut to $9,960.00 a year, For the next 10.0 years and If they don't do It, Maybe the voters ought to make their check that size... permanently.

Irrelevent (5.00 / 1)
Imagine the GOP has a chance to emerge from irrelevence
It has a chance to negotiate an agreement with the Governor that will affect the budget, now and in the future

And they're GONNA BLOW IT by reaching too far

Go Figure
The Republican Party remains the 'soft white underbelly' of California

Pass the budget without the Goopers

But, come back in November 2010 with an oil severance tax and a new tax bracket for high wage earners and capitol gains coupon clippers

And CUT SPENDING in Red Republican rural counties !!
