This past April, the California Supreme Court unanimously rejected a legislative scheme that stripped city councils and county supervisors of their power to approve pay and benefits for police and firefighters, and transferred that authority to a private arbitrators. The court rightly ruled that the law was unconstitutional because it "deprives the county of its authority to provide for the compensation of its employees and delegates to a private body the power to interfere with county financial affairs and to perform a municipal function."

The Bill,SB440, passed through the Assembly Committee a few minutes ago.

Burton is one of the most dangerous and vile people in power in California.

He is the driving force behind most of the tax and spend legislation that Herr Davis signed the past 4.5 years.

He is the ultimate elite fascist. He will remain so until God removes him from the scene.
