New laws time

[Curmudgeon]

When I worked the Capitol I used to keep an annual file of them until a yearly total of SUBs began taking up too much room in my office.

Each house of the Legislature sets a limit on the number of bills each member may introduce per session (sessions run for two years) but as with everything else in the Legislature, rules aren't. They make 'em. They break 'em.

CA should have a program entitled, "California Reads" that requires each voting adult (the legal ones, that is) to read the annual drivel wastefully introduced by the Legislature and signed by the reigning puppet at the time. Here's why:

Why Gov. Jerry Brown signs 'useless' laws

By the way, each version of each bill introduced, printed, heard, amended, enrolled, chaptered, etc. costs y'all about $25,000 of your ill-gotten gains - called taxes by the politicos.

All this waste of time, energy (think green), paper, ink, postage, distribution, et al accomplishes little but to feed the egos and line the pockets of legislators and lobbyists aka: attorneys. And then each year there is a bill introduced entitled "Maintainance of the Codes" that seeks to clean up the many shelves it takes to hold all the laws your erstwhile and so-called representatives cram into those codes annually that mean little and accomplish even less but do cost hard-earned dollars and cause the sane to cringe, the weak-minded to return the same idiots to office time and again and the astute to leave, to ROFLTAO or both! [candidate for the longest run-on sentence of the day prize.]

And that, dear children, is your daily lesson in the foibles and fantacies laughingly refered to as governance there on the left coast. Happy New Year!

The really messed up thing is the people that think the job of elected is to pass laws. The more laws the "better" job they have done.

Some of the new laws I like (such as banning minors from using tanning beds).

The Dream Act, though, is a slap in the face to anyone but the illegals and their apologists.

Ca is the place to be if you're a illegal esp with the dream act.

You know what they say, passing a law isn't the same as enforcing it. It's not uncommon for something new and untried to be challenged in court either.
