The Dems are caucusing right now, probably trying to grind out the last few votes for the ‘gutted-and amended’ drivers license for illegal immigrants, now known as SB 1162.  It is ‘on call’ right now with 35 aye votes and 32 no.  I reckon it might be a little warm in the members lounge right now [where the Dems caucus]  I’m sure they are covering a multitude of things, maybe the LA mayor takeover of LAUSD.  Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been around all day, he arrived in the garage same time as I, this AM.
SB 1162 up until last Thursday, was a minimum wage increase bill, but ‘minor and technical amendments’ made it the drivers license one now.

And an earlier highlight was Single Payer Health Care, SB 840, passing by 43-30.  Look out all you Single people, you have to pay for everyone’s health care now!
