SACRAMENTO
(Excerpt) Read more at ocregister.com ...
There was no indication Friday that a referendum - in which voters are asked whether to retain a law - was in the works, although it hadn't been ruled out.
Uh huh. I can hardly think of something that would gather petition signatures faster than a law that gets between Californians and their cars.
Davis' spokesman Steve Maviglio said the governor would "sign the bill July 22 in ceremonies in San Francisco and Los Angeles." The governor, up for reelection this year, often schedules signing events in those two cities in order to get the greatest level of media exposure.
What, does he sign "Gray" on the bill in SF, and then fly down to LA to sign "Davis"? I know the president often signs bills into law using one pen per letter of his name, so he can hand them out as souvenirs, but at least he does it all at one time sitting at one desk.
Man, that reporter is a bit behind the times. The last California auto/envirnoment law required that 10% of every carmaker's fleet be zero-emissions by 2002.
No other state followed that path, so California then copied the rest of the nation and rolled that rule back to 2009 (or some such date).
Davis is getting his rewards from somewhere, maybe he has already given up on getting reelected!
The automakers were prepared to spend millions lobbying against 1058/1493, so I can't see a reason they wouldn't take that money and gather signatures with it. And there'd be plenty of volunteers who didn't need to be paid. Me, for instance. I think this will be the perfect issue for the November elections. It'll show just how radicalized the California government has become.

If Simon is elected,do you think he will reverse this?
I think the radio station was a bit clueless to schedule it on a weekday, so I'm wondering if it was a flop.
(I'm sure you realize by now that I'm sympathetic for the cause but skeptical about the march's results).

I think it would be appropriate if the Donkey became the symbol of the States primary means of transportation.
John, got any pictures, we need a picture!
Exodus to New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Florida (hey medical device engineers, I'm hiring!), etc.
No state income tax! No gun registration! C'mon over.
Absent some political pressure on the Democrats, Simon would not have a prayer of getting a bill through the legislature to reverse it. The only real hope is either a court chalenge or an initiative. I'm hoping for the latter, because it would help Simon to have this on the ballot this Fall.
