Republican Assembly Leader Dave Cox, of Fair Oaks, said Monday that he's still looking over the budget that passed the Senate Sunday.

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.

CA Socialists have already done so, but they will never stop sticking their noses into everyone's private business enterprise. The people who put up with this incursive oppression, have no one to blame but themselves!!!

Exactly. And there are no spending cuts or even a spending freeze but there is lots of massive borrowing. Shame on Jim Brulte for foisting this brazen fraud on the people of California!
