SACRAMENTO - He once tipped the scales at 369 pounds, but he's 100 pounds trimmer now.

Jim Brulte, the Senate's Republican leader, thinks that it's time for California to cinch its fiscal belt just as tight.

And what Brulte thinks matters -- a lot.

Brulte says he wants to improve the state's economic climate.

Brulte for Governor!

Wow. Good article. Surprised again by the liberal media.

They have to try to be fair, while being mentally imbalanced, I reckun ;-)

Last year, Maurice Johannessen, a GOP senator from Redding, broke ranks and supported the budget. Davis later appointed him secretary of veterans affairs.

Yup. That's how it works. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours....at any expense.

If some Rebubies think that Brulte is a bully and a threat if they cave, wait until they come back home if they vote for a rat tax and spend budget increase.

LMAO :-o

[Lancey Howard]

the new taxes that Davis and the Democrats want to help avoid deep cuts.

The author claims that there will be "deep cuts" unless big government confiscates more tax money from working, traditional California families.... How deep will those cuts go? I mean, how much less, (specific dollar amount) will government have to spend than it did two or three years ago if there are no tax hikes? A good writer would have provided some specifics.
