It sounds like the Democrats were trying to place another "no means yes" initiative on the ballot. They do that all the time.

It sounds like the Democrats were trying to place another "no means yes" initiative on the ballot. They do that all the time.

If the guy is still around, they ought to hire him. YEARS ago the Los Angeles City Council tried to get a bill though giving themselves a pay raise. The voters kept killing it.

They hired this lobbyist, who crafted a new proposal, saying "Under NO circumstances will the City Council be paid more than the judges." It passed overwhelmingly. Only problem was that the judges made four times as much as the Councilmen, who lost no time obeying the law and bringing their wages up to par.
