Legislators don't see eye-to-eye with governor's vision

The governor who once said it was the Legislature's job to "implement my vision" may have toned down his rhetoric, but he hasn't weakened his gubernatorial resolve one bit.

Lawmakers saw plenty of Gov. Gray Davis' "vision" at the close of the legislative session a week ago, when the Democratic leader repeatedly demanded that reluctant senators overhaul high-profile bills.

"If the governor is offended because we do not clear legislation with him when we introduce it, I'm going to put a rule in that every bill, before it's introduced, has to be vetted by the governor," Burton roared. "And if we can get him away from his fund-raising activities to pay attention, maybe then he will clear those bills and we can introduce them.

Looks like the guv is as popular with his own party as he is with the rest of us.

"I would make a strong case that Senator Burton couldn't get elected statewide."

John Burton as governor of Calif...now that's scary.
