The Assembly scheduled a 9:30 a.m. session today, unusually early, since the gavel typically bangs closer to noon on Mondays to accommodate legislators’ flights from Southern California.
With more than 130 bills awaiting action and the state facing a multibillion-dollar budget deficit, the early session at the Capitol was meant to get an early start on tackling state problems, right?
Wrong.
The Assembly held brief ceremonies to honor the state champion McClymonds High School boys basketball team and Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. It passed a consent calendar and voted on one non-controversial bill.
Legislators were gone by 11:15 a.m. – early enough for participating lawmakers to make their early afternoon tee times for a charity golf tournament honoring the late Bob Moretti, former Assembly speaker.
