So he just suspends the California Constitution to borrow Arizona's Laws? The Dems just passed a Workman's Comp Bill on Friday. They feel that bill addresses the situation. McClintock will get nothing new will come from this legislature, special session or no special session. They have heard everything he has to say, 20 years worth.
Abolishing agencies will not be done by McClintock, he has proposed that a Commission will decide what is wasteful and what is not. He has no idea what numbers they will come up with. He has also proposed to give control of some state controlled services to the feds, a possible blow to states rights.
He may work to end $42Billion in energy contracts and waste even more money in court. Courts and defendants will site the previous investigation and findings. Not even $4 Billion would be cut even if he was right about the conflict of interest, it was limited to two smaller contracts. The energy would still need to be purchased at a substantial rate.
"The Dems just passed a Workman's Comp Bill on Friday. They feel that bill addresses the situation."
a dismal effort at best, 20% reduction when anything less than 50-60 is a bare minimum of what is needed. Just like the dems pass a budget on borrowed money and praying for an economic recovery while they gut businesses by imposing more fees and regulations. and to top it off, a lot of the GOPers are slapping themsleves on the back alomng with dems. Tom has been anything but complicit in any furthering this nightmare, you folks decide and we are supposed to noiw believe your golden boy is any better equipped or able to do the right thing..
You people amaze me.
Your 'suspend the constitution' crap is just that -- crap. If you were paying any attention, you'd have seen that he has a two-step approach to the workman's comp problem.
His first step is to call the special legislative session with a 30-day deadline to accomplish real reform. Will that work? Probably not. If it doesn't, proceed to Step 2.
His second step is to start the initiative process to get it on the March ballot and let the people themselves vote on it.
