WTF.... want to balance the budget... Get rid of full time law makers. Do they realize how much money is wasted trying to pass these stupid *** laws.

If someone is so impaired that they can not safely negotiate potentially dangerous situations then yes, they shouldn't be out and about.

There is also responsibility required on the part of drivers, if you know your car doesn't sound like a Cummins diesel, then you should probably be a bit more aware where pedestrian traffic is heavy.

We're turning into a PC nanny state, everyone is special and everyone must bend over backwards so no ones feelings are hurt. This law has no statistical backing, just more feel good legislation that lacks all common sense.

This is the dumbest idea ever. What about people that text while walking? We should make all cars covered in flashing lights and horns so people who don't pay attention will see/hear them coming.

Aren't silent cars a benefit? Less noise pollution. Idiots.

The state budget has been late for the past 22 YEARS. You can't blame that on him.

I'm not blaming him for that.. I am suprised that withholding pay is ok to the people that thought grey davis was doing bad. I'd be pissed...

ummm... I'd say things are pretty good right now considering.

He's kicking people out of their offices and saying **** you to the legislature for not passing the budget. I'd say he's being pretty damn responsible and throwing down punishment where needed. We need people like him to be hard on law makers and demand some responsibility.
