SACRAMENTO - In the four months since Gray Davis won re-election, the Democratic governor has rewarded at least 17 former campaign workers with state jobs -- many with generous raises -- even as California prepares to lay off hundreds of state workers.

Wonderful. Simply wonderful. I got an email from the recall effort saying that the petition was rejected at the last minute due to some minor technicalities. I emailed Kevin Shelley, who is the secretary of state. What good it will do, I don't know. Wonder how much money Mr. Shelley makes a year????

Just one of millions of reasons to raise our taxes:A Mercury News review has found that, despite having imposed a hiring freeze on other parts of California's government, Davis has found state jobs for virtually every campaign staff member who expressed an interest. The total annual cost: nearly $1 million, not including benefits.

There is no controlling legal authority for the rats in Kaliland. They can rape, murder, pillage, tax, lie, cheat and then hire those who helped them to do these acts with our tax $'s.

I received an email yesterday evening from www.recallgraydavis.com

The secretary of state blocked the petition. It will be stalled for around 20 more days.

So typical.

They believe in the work this governor is doing for California,'' said Mona Pasquil, the governor's former political director
