• Another Carpetbagger Bites the Carpet

  —Orange Juice

  Okay stifle the snickers, 8th graders. Art Pedroza  did a post yesterday about the phantom candidate, Sue Perez, pulling a campaignus interruptus in a putative bid for the 34th State Senate seat currently held by Lou Correa. This was important to us for two reasons: part of the 34th District includes [...]

• John Burton Comes Out Against Maldonado Confirmation

  —Calitics

  Putting concern over a relatively insignificant office over the extremely significant 2/3rds majority in the State Senate, CDP Chair John Burton opposes Maldonado's confirmation as Lt. Gov.:

• After New York, will marriage equality have to wait?

  —Opinion L.A.

  The rap on California elections, especially when it comes to same-sex marriage, is that the state's ballot initiative process too ably empowers voters to overturn carefully deliberated decisions made by legislators and judges. New York voters, by contrast, will not get the chance to do so after their state Senate's [...]
