There's enough lack of responsibility to go around
Assemblywoman Nicole Parra had to pack up and vacate her office in the California Capitol and move in with staff across the street, after she refused to vote on the state's budget. I suppose they have a lot of fun with this sort of thing, but how much of our time, which they've already wasted (along with Republicans), and how much money, which they can't get a handle on as it is, did the Democrats squander on this silly little squeeze-out manuveur? We're not playing musical chairs here, folks. You've all been elected to do a job for the people of California. How about checking the pouting and revenge at the door and getting down to making the California budget a priority? It isn't as though coming up with a budget is a last-minute surprise. You all knew it had to be done from the moment you were elected. Please grow up and handle yourselves with the dignity we were daft enough to think you actually had when we gave up taxes to pay your salaries. You're on our nickel, so stop thinking partisanship and start thinking partnership.
