"Bill was voted down 4-3"

This is California! What did you expect, e.g. Boxer & Brown got re-elected here?

 

No emission testing in Maine!

 

"No emission testing in Maine!"

But other states have many more negatives than California, i.e. starting
with cold weather and ending with it's lovely (losers) senators (Collins/Snowe).

 

That comes with a lot of crummy weather. No thanks.

 

Yeah, it's Cali ...we get what we get here because the Cali voters do it to us! Arghh!!!

1. I hope this will come to discussion/vote again, esp since 4-3 is not a gaping chasm.
2. Indeed, '81 sounds arbitrary ..."30 years old" sounds like it makes sense and likely more appealing (read: do-able") in the next voting cycle.

They just love giving all that money to neighboring states.

 

One reason CA legislators can't figure out the best way to do cut-off years is they don't write bills. Their staffs do. These "full-time" legislators spend their time at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and social events. When they finally head to the floor for a vote, they do as directed. They have no idea what is in the bill nor do they care!
