Missing Something? By Matt Rexroad on Monday, July 23, 2007 @ 8:07 AM :: 0 Comments :: Blog   The state budget in Sacramento is quite a drama right now.  George Skelton's column in the LA Times today harshly rips the Assembly for passing their version. What I don't get is that all the Assembly Democrats, including Lois Wolk of Davis, voted for it.  Maybe Skelton is just framing this in a very bad light but I can't imagine that not even one Democrat would not have stood up to vote against this proposal. The press coverage of the State Senate staying in session all night over the budget and then the US Senate doing the same thing is just stupid.  The thing that really got me was that the US Senators actually sounded like they deserved some sort of medal for staying up all night. My points -- If you have to stay up all night to do your work that usually means you have been screwing around and not getting your work done previously. Thousands of men and women in the Armed Forces stay up all night on a regular basis.  They don't treat it like a big deal.  It is part of the job.  You make a big deal out of it but they just do their jobs.  Cut the press conferences and get back to work.
