What has your Assemblyman done for you lately?
According to Capitol Weekly and Hagman COS Mike Spence, the Assemblyman pulled two people out of a burning car that had crashed near his Sacramento apartment last night.
The drive ran off after Hagman pulled him from the burning vehicle which later exploded. The passenger, a woman allegedly blew a .33 on the breathalyzer… Read More
The Lincoln Club of Orange County has sent a letter to the State GOP Legislative leaders and Senators Maldonado and Cox urging them to oppose the current budget deal.

We salute the thirteen members of the State Senate Republican Caucus who have held the line against a plan that would saddle as much as $70 billion of tax increases over the next five years on California taxpayers.
THANK YOU SENATORS AANESTAD, BENOIT, COX, DENHAM, MALDONADO, HARMAN, DUTTON, HOLLINGSWORTH, HUFF, RUNNER, STRICKLAND, WALTERS AND WYLAND.
California’s Democrat legislators must be salivating. To be so close to redistributing another roughly $1400 per family straight out of their budgets and into the state budget must be tantalizing to them – because, as everyone knows, politicians in Sacramento know how best to spend the money earned by working Californians, right? Never mind that we are in the middle of very difficult economic times, when raising taxes by this massive amount with be the deciding factor on why some California businesses close, why jobs are lost, why houses go into foreclosure, and more.
Fortunately for California taxpayers, Republican lawmakers get it. They understand that there is never a good time to raise taxes, and that there are certainly worse times to do so – and this is one of those times. The drive that Democrat lawmakers, and Governor Schwarzenegger, and a handful of GOPers have to pass this Big 5/Big Taxes budget plan that notoriously contains over $14 billion in new taxes on cars and car registrations, as well as sales and income taxes is amazing.
Last night, as he adjourned the State Senate until 10am this morning, State Senate President Darrell Steinberg… Read More

The Senate has adjourned without a vote with session called for tomorrow at 10am. Democrats gave a lot of floor speeches blaming Republicans for the consequences of inaction. But we should note for the record that the votes have and continue to be there to 'right size' state government. Funny how the union-tool dominated left won't put up all of the billions in spending reductions that everyone agrees to without gauging taxpayers with more taxes. How much you want to bet most MSM papers blame Republicans, instead of the Democrats, for lack of progress? I don't think the votes are there tomorrow either for the Big 5/Big Taxes deal…
Taxpayers owe Senate Republicans a debt of gratitude — today their taxes didn't go up.… Read More
The State Senate, after many delays throughout the day, is now in session. The fact that instead of voting on the Big 5/Big Taxes plan, liberal Senators are using their microphones to whine, is a good sign. Perhaps we can soon start some real discussions about how California government can live on the approximately $90 billion that will come in this year…… Read More
