While the Washington Post and New York Times are wailing about the non-existent Bush-Enron connection, the little Contra-Costa Times is focused on the real issue:

The imminent bankrupcy of California at the end of June.

Hey Grey, you running for reelection? Ha ha ha, Idiot. Time to drastically reduce the govt., or drastically raise taxes. So, what's it gonna be Grey? Either way, you lose.

Well, I do agree with his last line.

Let's see some other proposals on the table.

I often see talk that the Republicans are irrelevent in California; here's proof that this isn't so. Someone has to put Davis' feet to the fire, and they're doing it.

Interesting, $8+ billion has a certain power refund ring to it. I wonder if there is a connection and if it is political in nature?

$8 billion deficeit? I think that's more than the entire budget of Ohio.

I heard on the Roger Hedgecock show today that Davis raided the funds of the California Dental Board.

-- I may have some details wrong. --

Last year, Davis fired the entire board, and then installed his own chosen yes-men who were all obscure or barely-known dentists. The board last month, on its first meeting, lent the group's entire reserve fund to California. The group is funded by (mandatory?) contributions from every dentist and hygienist in the state (or in its membership?), and either has influence over licensing or is in charge of licensing.

-- I'll get the details off his archive next week. --

Dump Davis!

Let the fun begin. The next month is going to have many stories about California and Davis's shell game to hide the deficit.

I'm going to enjoy it thoroughly.
