FR friend Eric Reslock put together this video highlighting some of the more "fun" moments of the Maldonado Lt. Governor confirmation hearing in the Assembly Rules Committee yesterday.
The Assembly Rules Committee voted to allow the full Assembly to vote on the matter, but without recommending his approval.
We here at FR recommend the rejection of his nomination. It was bad enough last year when Maldonado rather boldly withheld his vote on the February budget deal only until he forced the legislature to place the so-called open primary measure on the ballot. We add insult to injury if we now "promote" him and give him this high office from which to campaign for that measure the next four months.
If you vote to confirm Maldonado, that is de facto support for Proposition 14.
