The system is beyond broken up Sacramento. The “Big 5” negotiate behind closed doors. Then they go present deals to their respective caucuses behind closed doors. It is certainly my hope that the next step in the process is that the legislators then leave their caucuses to their constituents, and to those public policy and political experts in whom place trust, before deciding to support or oppose a deal. I am sure I speak for a great many from the right, left and center when I say that a proposal of this magnitude should be a very considered one, and one where we can talk to our representatives when it matters, not after a deal (good or bad) is done.
