A part time legislature makes more sense. Less legislating, less foolishness and less politicing.

Jimmy is absolutely right; our poor legislators have way too much time on their hands. We should put a ballot measure out that only allows them to meet for 3 days every 5 years and that these meetings are held in tent with no fans or A/C in the middle of the Sacrmemto Delta in July!

I can say its getting irritating in the bay area already. I know at the stores I go to its “If you want bags we need to charge you $0.10 per paper bag (oh don’t pay attention to their small size either or the fact you can fit only a limited small number of items in the bags)”

Yes I want the bags, stop asking if I really REALLY REALLY need them.

“Does this bill prove that the Legislature has nothing better to do……..”

More I think about it, it’s a perfect bill. Of very minor consequence….yet will inevitably be picked up by every news outlet, because it affects everyone on almost a daily basis. And Levine gets to show off his enviro chops, and boast about making good on his pledge to “fight for the environment!”

And of course the low income exemption, “fighting for the “working poor families.”

Standard fare. A smorgasbord of progressive silliness.
