Parra booted from office - and the Capitol (Ca. politics)
Sac Bee ^ | August 18, 2008 | By Shane Goldmacher

In the latest episode of Capitol punishment, Assembly Speaker Karen Bass tossed Assemblywoman Nicole Parra from her office on Monday morning after the Central Valley Democrat failed to vote for the budget on Sunday.

In a twist, Parra hasn't been reassigned to more cramped quarters in the Capitol itself - but booted straight across the street to the Legislative Office Building. She will be the only member of the Legislature whose office is not housed in the Capitol.

"I knew going in Sunday that if I didn't support the budget, something was going to happen," Parra, D-Hanford, said in an interview shortly after receiving the news. The budget, now 49 days late, failed 45-30, with 54 votes needed for passage.

Shouldn’t legislators show up for work and vote? I know a Sunday session is unusual, but the budget is two months late.

Maybe she was inspired by how Obama voted present so often. So she took it one step further and didn’t bother to show up.

Too bad the nicoleparra.com website has been changed.
Princess Parra was not seen in a favorable light.

The guy on the right is LA County Sheriff Lee Baca. A dumber LA County Sheriff has never been elected. This guy, if it is possible, actually may be dumber than Tony Villa (Villaraigosa).

Sorry, but I do not recognized the guy in the middle.

The photo only identifies Bass. If you hit properties, it says, “http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/partypictures/2006/08_02_06/images/abt/Assemblywoman-Karen-Bass-El.jpg";

So, it’s a race to the bottom which of these politicians is worse, I take it.
