I’m annoyed with both sides in the endless budget battle. The Sacramento Bee today points out the Democrats’ intransigence. Will anything come of this?
Probably not.
The Bee thinks that the Democrats’ union contributors don’t want a compromise on cutting state payroll. It’s taken this long for a major newspaper to state the obvious.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats need to compromise. So far, neither side has been willing. One of four things will happen: the Democrats will compromise, the Republicans will compromise, neither side will compromise and California will run out of money, or both sides will compromise. I’m hoping for the last choice but I’m not holding my breath.
