AB 1058 Anti-SUV bill clone passes in CA

Hegh Hewitt | 2002/07/01 | Hugh Hewitt

John Campbell (R) just announced on the Hugh Hewitt show that the democrats in Sacramento have pulled a fast one. Bill 1058 which has been written about on several posts originally failed. The democrats took a bill on Friday night which dealt with an unrelated subject and gutted out the language. They then inserted the exact language of 1058 and the senate passed it Friday. This (Monday) afternoon the house got the bill. The democrats had to hold a hearing and every office in the capital was available but they chose to hold the "hearings" in the smallest office in the building - the only one which had no TV cameras, no radio, no cameras, and no space for reporters or the public to attend. They then passed a vote making this bill exempt from the 3-day waiting period required by law for public input. The democrats just passed the bill in the last 45 minutes and it now goes to the governor's desk. No republicans voted for the bill in either chamber. One highlight - (Dennis?) Cardoza - the democrat running for Condit's seat voted for the bill in the central valley. He's toast.

I have driven an SUV for eight years but the time came last week to get a new car. I decided to go w/ a sports car, I wanted something w/ a little kick to it after driving what seemed to be a tank for eight years. And I love it.

I obviously don't think SUVs should be banned but really nothing beats something w/ some accerleration.

Shame on you. I'm old and use a walker. What if I'm jay walking someday, coming home from Bingo, and you come along with your acceleration-mobile and hit me? Huh? Now won't you FEEL BAD??????????

[Brad’s Gramma]

I CAN SEE YOU!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I thought of the soccer mom's, too...but who's gonna TELL them? Not the local media!

Looks like it's up to us again.

[lwoodham]

I wouldn't feel bad in the least.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Geesh. I'm gonna have to hang out at all the soccer fields now????

[Brad’s Gramma]

Hang your head in shame.

[lwoodham]

Hehe, I detect that you are not old and disabled.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Remember how easy it was top support higher tobacoo taxes cause you didn`t smoke?

I don't smoke, and I never supported higher tobacco taxes. Guess I grew up before that kind of thing (raising taxes on EVERYTHING) came into vogue. Good that you got away from the dark side.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Just cuz I play Bingo with the girls and use a walker doesn't mean I'm disabled!!! Maybe I use the walker to hang the Bingo chips on it. Did you ever think of THAT? Huh?

Sounds like a plan .. unfortunately .. I'm on the other coast ...

[lwoodham]

Lol..well...er, no I never thought of that. Hmmmmm only solution is to say 50 Hail Tom Daschels, I guess. But I had rather die I think.

[AshleyTodd]

That's a much better suggestion!

[Brad’s Gramma]
