The news that Juan Arambula switched his Party designation from Democrat to DTS is not a big deal. Juan is now and always has been one of the most left leaning Assemblyman in the State. He is a sensible, rationale person, however, and not an angry nut job like most of his former caucus members. Even he sees that taxes in this economy are off the table. That isn’t a moderate position – its an obvious position. Juan may be wrong about a lot of issues – but he is at least thoughtful, and a gentlemen, and able to see the obvious.
His party switch is not about moderation, but distancing himself from colleagues that honestly, need to be locked away in a mental institution for the strategies they are embracing in our budget crisis.
