If I fail to do what it clearly states is my job I don't work there any more. If I leave unfinished work on my desk and take a vacation , I have no job to return to. Especially if it is not a one time issue but is an ongoing pattern of me not doing my job. How many years in California has it been since we have had a budget completed on time? This link made me even madder then I was when I spoke with some of you face to face.

My response to what is going on at the state level of government is to not vote for ANY incumbent lawmaker. With one exception,John Chiang the state controller. He had the Balls to tell the Gubernator NO when told to cut the paychecks of most state employees to the federal minimum wage. He fought the decree in court so at least the checks that go out at the end of this week are unaffected. We will have to see what happens when it goes back to court in early September, we can hope the legislature pulls their heads out but hope in one hand etc. I have too many friends that receive their paychecks from the state of California. They work hard for the money they deserve it. The people who do not deserve it are the BASTARDS in the legislature who cannot seem to pull their heads out of their collective asses and do what we pay them to do. If you read the above linked newspaper report you will see that they are taking time off that JUST HAPPENS to coincide with the democratic convention in Denver this week. How BLOODY convenient. And in the six days they will earn a tax free perdium of approximately $1000.00 each. Nice pay for doing something not your job. Maybe I should run?
Picture the Ottar ticket. Picture the TV ads. Picture pulling the curtain and seeing my name on the ballot. No hanging chads by my constituents. This ain't Florida. While I am marrying into the tribe none of my family is in Miami
That is my rant for Monday, look again tomorrow
Ottar
