LIVE: A CAPITAL AREA FUNDRAISER TODAY DREW A SLIGHTLY LESS WELL HEELED CROWD THAN THE TYPICAL THOUSAND DOLLAR A PLATE SOIREES IN SOME OF SACRAMENTO'S FINEST BANQUET ROOMS. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE ELECT DARRELL STEINBERG SCHEDULED ONE TODAY CHARGING TEN DOLLARS FOR ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET.
SUPER: TODAY/BUD'S BUFFET/SACRAMENTO
VO: (:20) THE SANDWICH SHOP FUNDRAISER DREW A BIT OF A CROWD TO THE EATERY ABOUT ONE BLOCK FROM THE CAPITOL. STEINBERG SAYS THERE'S NO PARTICULAR MESSAGE INVOLVED IN THE MORE AFFORDABLE THAN ONES AVERAGE FUNDRAISER, BUT THAT HE CAN'T ARGUE WITH DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL BARAK OBAMA'S SUCCESS AT SIMILAR LOWER COST FUNDRAISERS. STEINBERG WAS ASKED WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BE RAISING MONEY RATHER THAN HASHING OUT THE STATE BUDGET THAT'S EIGHT DAYS PAST ITS DEADLINE.
SUPER: SENATOR DARRELL STEINBERG/D-SACRAMENTO
SOT: (:15)
SAYS: "I UNDERSTAND ... WHENEVER THERE IS AN AGREEMENT."
VO TAG: WHILE MOST OF TODAY'S ATTENDEES PAID FOR THE TEN DOLLAR TICKET, DONORS WERE GIVEN THE OPTION OF 500 OR THOUSAND DOLLAR ONES FOR HOST OR SPONSOR STATUS. STEINBERG JOKED THAT THE PRICIER TICKETS CAME WITH EXTRA TOMATOES AND LETTUCE FOR THEIR SANDWICHES.
