We need to all talk Tuesday morning ASAP - I am frankly sick and tired of
self-delusion in the face of a stark and bleak reality in Sacramento- As a Democrat, it is clear to me that the Democrats from Gray on down are a lost cause( their response, from a public policy perspective, is shameful in its shortsidedness and contemptible in its lack of thoughtfulness and intellect- the Democrat's response in Cal. makes me ashamed to call myself a Democrat) and the Republicans too small a minority in Ca. to make a difference- From my vantage point ,nothing good and some( potentially much) bad came out of the three bills passed. We have a huge uphill battle coming in the next session and the prospects of further thoughtless retrenchment on the part of the Governor and legislature very high- to begin the preperation for that struggle, we first have to be honest with ourselves and end any petty bickering internally on intrepretations of brutally clear events and oucomes, events and outcomes which are the equivalent of getting hit upside the head by a 2 by 4, i.e; that usually does'nt require intrepretation or discussion as to whether it hurt... We end the self-delusion starting on Tuesday. Jeff- please arrange the call - all are invited .

We have to keep in mind that with the knowledge that there will be major reorganization legislation next year, we don't want to offend the friends that we have in Sacramento, particularly the Republicans who were the ones who insisted on an expedited siting bill
