CA Assembly Hearing To Expose and Reform CA’s Predatory Political Scene

Last week I was critical of Bocanegra’s faux resignation, when he announced he would leave at the end of his term in December 2018. “‘Not seeking reelection is not a resignation,” I wrote.

Let me make one thing very clear: Raul Bocanegra will not suffer. He will not be jobless and on unemployment. He will not have to reinvent himself. He will not take a blue collar job. What will the Quid Pro Quo be? He has already been promised a soft landing, in a safe six-figure labor union job, or on one of California’s worthless commissions. Sen. Tony Mendoza will also not suffer any real fate. Democrats will circle the wagons, protect their elected members in exchange for future favors, and guarantee soft landings.

The sexual harassment hearing Tuesday in the Assembly Rules Committee was interesting and even enlightening. I must commend Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon for allowing the hearing to take place, and the Rules Subcommittee Sexual Harassment Prevention: Current Policies and Protections and Recommendations for Change committee members for the thorough hearing they held. They clearly were in a no-BS mood, despite being fed some drivel by some Rules HR-type staff. Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, committee Chair, even acknowledged that they may need to “take the policing out of the hands of the Assembly,” in the future. “There is a built-in incentive to protect members of your caucus,” she concluded.

As I pointed out Monday, “With every Congressional session, lawmakers violate Federalist #57: “they can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of the society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together.”
