My guess is you’re right jeanie. The private “jailers” seem to at least run without a deficit—something our state and feds don’t know how to do—-U.S. Postal Service comes to mind…….

OK…answer me this! Who does he think will buy San Quentin? One of those private prison running entities that we are starting to see in ever greater numbers here in the east? Not that I have anything against them–they seem OK as far as I know.

Thanks Keemo. I forgot to submit my “vote by mail” ballot, so I’ll be going to the polls on Tuesday to vote NO on every Prop, including 1F, (the legislator’s pay freeze). A further look at 1F turns out to be deceptively flawed.

Jon Fleischman, (elected Vice Chairman, South of the California Republican Party) writes:

“Here is my question – why or how is it fair to fiscally conservative, responsible legislators, to punish them for doing the right thing? You will notice that this measure does not suspect salary adjustments for legislators who voted in favor of the irresponsible spending plans that result in the deficit? No, this measure goes after every legislator, and for that reason, I am very concerned that we are taking a “shotgun” approach to this issue – and creating a “friendly fire” situation.

It’s similar to my concerns and objections to the notion of not paying the legislators when the budget is late. That policy presupposes that a budget, any budget, is actually better than a late budget, and it could put unfair pressure on a fiscally conservative legislator to vote for a budget with a tax increase, knowing that if the budget is late, the paycheck on which they rely to pay their mortgage or rent, and feed their family, may not be coming.”

Jon make some good sense here, and sending a sound NO ON EVERY PROP may have a little stronger impact on these morons that call themselves legislators.

California is yet another example of what the entire country will look like if left in the control of progressive liberals for a long enough period of time for their policies to get rooted.

Stay on it Rovin! You’re our California author & watch dog!
