It’s good to know your government officials waste just as much time on stupid shit as ours do.

Amazing that tax dollars were wasted to approve something that shouldn’t be an issue in a free society anyway.

Wow, too recent for snopes even, but found the letter on the CA Governor’s website. http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=17249 I kind of want to read all of the other links on the site to see if there are more gems like this…but then again, I don’t.

I hate him for not using proper punctuation in what is, presumably, an official letter.

This bill got passed specifically *because* it’s unimportant. No one’s even heard of it until now. There was no one to protest it or argue it should be modified in some way. No one voting for it has to worry about losing the support of their constituents.
Sure, it’s a funny letter but if Congress ground to a complete halt and stopped voting on anything until Republicans and Democrats agreed on financial issues the nothing would ever get done.

Ahhh, the joys of parliament.
Pollies get to sit around on their bums passing bills on taxidermy while the important stuff is shoved to the side.
I’m strangely glad to know that Aussies are not the only ones who get stuffed around by the government.

THIS IS AMERICA!! Do we really want to have clean vs. dirty energy class warfare?
Leave the dirty energy alone, the profit margin is higher and isn’t that what counts??

Jerry Brown ruined this state the last time he was in. Why were people so stupid as to put him in a second time around?
I swear, my fellow Californians are morons.

No, Jerry Brown did not “ruin” California. That was done when the state’s constitution was written. It’s one of the longest constitutions in the world, makes it next to impossible to raise taxes/revenues, and has two ways to be changed: An amendment or a revision, neither of which have been fully defined by the legislature or the courts.

Reminds me that anyone can have a Trophy Wife, if he’s willing to pay the ongoing Taxidermy bills. So maybe in California they do need to regulate taxidermy.

Except for one thing, clean energy jobs are a myth. Good luck creating any without using tax money , and that means it’s not a real job, now is it?

Very impressive, Governor… now perhaps you can find time in your schedule to mention Scott Olsen and the police brutality committed in the city where you were formerly mayor?
