OK, so Davis knows he needs a pit-bull to run the budget battle over the next 10 months. Davis choose somebody who will lie, cheat, steal, and leave bodies laying around to get something passed that the Gov wants, regardless of if it will work or not. This should be interesting to see the pit-bull nip at the Wall Street Analysts. They may not respond well to such an approach. Davis has alienated FERC and not he is likely to alienate Wall Street and many within his own party. Should be interesting pressure politics to watch.
California's budget woes are largely the result of the national recession and the stock market slump. But many also blame the power crisis.
"Things were shaky economically in 2000, but when California began to fall apart as a result of deregulation, the house fell off the cliff," Heller said.
This is going to be "Attack of the Killer Budgets" for the next four long years!!!
Absolutely NOTHING will be done to curtail non-essential "services!"
Counties, Cities and Special Districts will be stripped of their revenue streams by the pissant, Peace!
Business will be sapped of all profit margins to throw more good money after bad!
It will become "The Attack of Rogue Revenuers!"
As the ship of state heads helplessly toward the rocky shoals under the full sail of spending in a typhoon of new taxes and fees, Davis and Peace will be leaning against the tiller, trying to turn the corner to no avail!
Conservative Californians and Business Owners need to line the streets surrounding the Crapitol, yelling "NO WASTE CUTS... NO PEACE!"
Sure makes one wonder what business owners were thinking by contributing to the Davis re-election campaign. Yet Conservative candidates will just sit on their hands and not persue these contributors prior to the next election... sickening!!!
