Here is some great breaking news to follow Anthony’s great blog post on ACA 8 below. I have just 
had it confirmed that while ACA 8 had been scheduled for a hearing in the Assembly Local Government Committee this Wednesday, that hearing has now been CANCELLED.
Presumably this could change, and I am not privy to the "backroom politics" as to why it isn’t being heard, though it is obviously the choice of its author, Assemblyman Hector De La Torre. You see, De La Torre is the Chairman of the Assembly Rules Committee, and the reason that ACA isn’t being heard on Wednesday is because is it being held up in the Rules Committee…
I guess if we wanted to take a guess as to why the brakes were put on, perhaps De La Torre has insisted that the proponents of ACA show him where the necessary GOP votes would come from in order to give it the 2/3rds vote it needs to pass.
I am not aware of ANY Republicans, at this point, who are willing to publicly associated with this "Trojan Horse" measure — if there is one out there, someone let me know.
Anyways, this is great news!
