I think the 2/3 majority may have a place in voting tax increases, pay raises for representatives and a few other things, but doesn't work here. Representatives will not vote against their beliefs for the most part. Thus the stalemate. It's too easy to blame the Republicans for not passing a budget, but if the shoe were on the other foot, the Dems would do the same thing. The Democrats have enough votes to pass anything they want, so let them pass it and take responsibility for it. That way the voters will have a clearer picture of who is responsible for the success or failure of the budget. Pass the budget by the majority vote and then give credit if it works out and give blame if it doesn't. This garbage of trying to cut the pay was just to much for me. If you can't get your house in order, don't screw over the little guy. I have a better idea. Starting with the first day the budget is overdue, all the state legislators and the governor get docked a days pay, every day until it is passed. And that money will be forfeited. Period. Then lets see what happens. Meanwhile, we keep losing businesses to Nevada and Arizona. We just lost another local business in Victorville to Nevada because of the tax law. 220 jobs gone. - Glennsopinions Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:45:03 +0100
