Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to repeal more than a dozen new state laws written by Democrats that address a wide-ranging list of social issues -- such as requiring doctors to offer voluntary HIV tests to pregnant women and ensuring that social workers ask foster children to identify friends and family members who might adopt them.

Some of the bills' sponsors said their measures were designed to save the state money in the long run.

LOLOL.. When Rats say it will save money.. Be Scared, Very Scared!

Sounds like a smart move. There is plenty of existing legislation which needs to be repealed as well.

Speier said. "Is this an excuse to lump it in with other bills that have a fiscal impact? Because this bill certainly does not."

and

Speier said the state Finance Department estimated the cost of implementing her bill at about $100,000 annually.

$100,000 does not have a fiscal impact? You know things are bad in Dim land when they don't think $100K, more than what the vast majority of Americans earn in a year, has no fiscal impact.

If Speier thinks that $100K/annually isn't much maybe she can put the money up herself. Just a thought. . .

Sen. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, wrote a bill on the list for repeal that allows families of tissue donors to bar their relatives' remains from being used for cosmetic surgery.

"I question whether there's someone in the bureaucracy who just doesn't philosophically support it," Speier said. "Is this an excuse to lump it in with other bills that have a fiscal impact? Because this bill certainly does not."

Speier said the state Finance Department estimated the cost of implementing her bill at about $100,000 annually.

I think that legislators that write a particular law should pony up the first year's cost out of their own private money.

"At a time when we're trying to close a $14 billion budget gap and at a time when we are asking existing state programs to endure budget cuts and cost controls, it's counterintuitive to start new state program expansions," Palmer said.

AMEN!!!

[philetus]

If Speir thinks $100,000 has no impact, what must she think of Americans who only make $30,000 or $40,000 a year?
