One Bill Paid...
The tab that state elections officials ran up for the November special election will now be paid off.

This afternoon, Governor Schwarzenegger signed legislation to spend almost $9.1 million in General Fund cash on costs related to the special election, where all eight ballot initiatives-- including four of his own-- went down to defeat.

The proposal was an urgency measure, meaning the money can be appropriated immediately. There was concern that the debt might gobble up the cash state elections officials need to administer the June 6 primary.

But as has been mentioned before, this was the smaller of the two outstanding IOUs related to last fall's election. Each county also had to fork over cash to conduct Schwarzenegger's election, a total of about $45 million statewide. And while the governor has money in his proposed budget to pay that debt off, it's too soon to tell whether the Legislature will go along with the plan.

1. Privatize the firefighters and police, cut their wages and those
of nurses and other health care professionals, but make sure the taxpayers fund Herr Groperr's election.

Now that's the way to run a business--I mean state, errrr, country...

Talk about devaluing American workers and driving down the border states' standard of living...

Can't we just fucking deport HIM?
