3 senators suspended — WITH pay
Sens. Leland Yee, Ronald S. Calderon and Roderick Wright have been suspended by the state Senate. So they can’t keep voting on legislation, 99 percent of which is unneeded, expensive and wasteful.
But they’ll still get paid themselves, according to the L.A. Times:
“The paid suspensions of Sens. Leland Yee, Ronald S. Calderon and Roderick Wright all but guarantee Democrats will not regain their supermajority in the Senate this session.”
Well, that’s something, I guess.
In the private sector, those accused of such wrongdoing would be suspended without pay.
Which is another reason to sharply reduce the government sector close to zero — then to zero.

When you read the indictment of Yee you can understand that these politicians are exactly the same as the RAGWUS machine, it’s all about money. And just like the dirt bag AG Holder neither cared about who was going to be killed with weapons they were supplying to very bad people, yet both are staunch supporters of disarming the “little citizens,” in direct violation of the Constitution. 🙂
Yet another Seilerism:
” In the private sector, those *accused* of such wrongdoing would be suspended without pay.”
Because the presumption of innocence is an anti American liberal scam.
Where do you come up with “presumption of innocence” SMD? When the state decides you have done a wrong you pay a fee that is called bail, then it is up to you to fund what comes after.
John is correct, only in the RAGWUS feeders world does the accused retain the means to their livelihood. The unconnected private citizen is bleed dry by RAGWUS feeders just like you!! 🙂
Reduce the government sector to zero?
Can’t be a Seilerism. Even Seiler can’t be that dumb.
Get rid of government…….because the insurance companies can do it…..cheaper.
Such anger! Did you show such anger when Kelly Thomas was beat to death by your RSGWUS pals from the FPD? 🙂
Kelly Thomas was beaten to death by the right-wing establishment’s hired guns. Did you show such anger or such concern when Thomas was alive, homeless and mentally ill? I didn’t think so.
Are you joking Mehlman? History shows even the grad school kids that socialist nations like China, Soviet Union, North Korea, Germany, and others hired the most ruthless to shore up their power. California has one of the largest Prison Industrial Complexes in the world and is about as left of center as any government can get, and its praetorian henchmen are the highest paid in the world!! 🙂
Must be a non-story. No one wants to discuss it.
The silence in trolldom over this story is DEAFENING….
Of course it is Bill, these people put the likes of Yee, Wright, and Caldoron in seats of power to do their bidding.
All along the good citizens in the private sector have been writing that the RAGWUS or Quid Pro Quo public union scam are doing things that are not legal or just not done by honest government, only to be ignored and stonewalled by the feeders.
Now that their creation is shown for all to see it is now a “non-story”.
Corruption is always a non-story to the RAGWUS feeder, and always when it’s their bought and paid for politicians!! 🙂
Why be so glum?
Have you been unfairly harmed by government?
Have you considered intervention?
Why not renounce your residency and citizenship?
Otherwise, don’t look for help from the happy, practical and caring fair and balanced posters who constantly try to help you see the path…
Yes UU the private sector citizens are being raped by the RAGWUS feeders of government. Just like the city of Vernon and Bell have seen up close!!
How about you give up the pension the private sector is paying for UU?
Your “happy…path” is a trail to the abyss for the private taxpayer. . 🙂
It’s just another paid vacation for these Corruptocratrs (what the Demoncrats should change their party name to.)
It’s really getting ridiculous to read the idiotic arguments of the apologist of these Corruptocrats in this blog.
Donkey is sour as usual….so unpleasant……you found a good home on CWD.
You are a hoot UU! You suggest that citizens renounce their citizenship if they disagree with your views and then with veiled misanthropy call them “unpleasant”.
CWD is getting out the word that you RAGWUS feeders have tried to bury, hence your lack of support for the corrupt crooks your organization put in power. 🙂
