Given that Senate Republican Leader Darrell Steinberg has lectured his colleagues to "bring their 
toothbrushes" as a statement of his willingness to "lock down" the State Senate until somehow, out of pure physical exhaustion, he can gather votes for his major tax increase (good luck) — members of the State Assembly are well prepared if Speaker Karen Bass follows uses the same sort of strong-arm tactics the legislature’s lower chamber.
Assemblyman Bill Emmerson, an orthodontist by profession, has provided his Assembly colleagues with toothpaste and toothbrushes.
In a note with his small gift of hygiene products to his colleagues, Emmerson wrote, “I hope this small tube is enough to get you through these trying budget negotiations.”

Maybe Dr. Emmerson can wire Chuck DeVore’s mouth shut while he’s at it! Although I do love the way he’s attacking his fellow Republicans.

Well, let’s hope these GOPers that are planning on selling us out are sending each of us a tube of KY Jelly with our tax bill…

Darrell Steinberg is NOT a Republican.
