CAUGHT IN THE ACT - CA Democrats Plot Behind Scenes!
By PipeLineNews.org Staff
Editor's note: Readers, this is what happens among California State Democrat leaders when they think they are away from the prying eyes of the public...and the press.
Take some time and see what really goes down as they plan to use the budget crisis, a crisis totally of their making [increased spending by nearly 30% over the last two years alone] as justification for raising taxes, rolling back Prop 13 and the 2/3s rule.
You will never see items such as this reported in the SF Chronicle, The SJ Mercury, the CC Times, the Sac Bee or the LA Times because these publication are in bed with Gray Davis and his tax and spend Democrat buds in the legislature.
Unidentified Assemblymember [possibly Nunez]: Hannah-Beth, are you saying that if we dont take it to the point if we dont get more revenues, we do not support a budget that has an additional $1.5 billion worth of cuts. At least to start it off at the point of discussion
Assemblymember Jackson: the question is how are they going to formulate the budget they are going to send over to us. Wheres the next $1.5 billion in cuts going to come from?
Unidentified Assemblymember [possibly Nunez]: I understand that, Hannah-Beth. My point is, given that we know we are not going to get new revenues the, is what were saying that we just want to have input as to where those cuts are going to be or are we saying we dont support cuts that deeply into this budget .
Assemblymember Jackson: The question is, I think were looking at $1.5 billion worth of cuts
Unidentified Assemblymember [possibly Dymally]:Hannah-Beth, what are we asking, what are we saying to the Senate folks?
Assemblymember Jackson: We want to know what your plan is what are you proposing? the reality is that when the Senate sends it over to us, it is going it is going to be a problem in 04-05. We want them to respect our input so that we can go out when we do get a budget .

| Open Mic Catches California Democrats (AP) - Unaware that a live microphone was broadcasting their words around the Capitol, Assembly Democrats meeting behind closed doors debated prolonging California's budget crisis for political gain. Members of the coalition of liberal Democrats talked about slowing progress on the budget as a means of increasing pressure on Republicans. A microphone had been left on during the closed meeting Monday, and the conversation was transmitted to about 500 "squawk boxes" that enable staff members, lobbyists and reporters to listen in on legislative meetings.

Assemblymember Goldberg: Oh, sh*t.
Unidentified Staffer: The squawk box is on you need to turn it off right there.
Assemblymember Goldberg: How could that happen?
I'm still laughing that it took 90 minutes for any one to warn them .. LOL

Congressman Thomas (R-CA) just apologized tearfully to the Democrats for calling the Capital Police during the committee meeting the other day.
