Assemblywoman Mary Salas got herself inked over the summer break. Kinda.
The Chula Vista Democrat slapped on a temporary tat for a biker party she attended with her husband. But she decided to keep the skull as a reminder to her fellow lawmakers "that we have to toughen up, hunker down and pass the budget."
Hey, you never know what will work as lawmakers grapple with the 36-day late spending plan that is $15.2 billion out-of-whack. At least she didn't come back with a beard.
In any case, Bee photograher Randy Pench snapped a picture of Salas and her mean-looking tattoo during Monday's floor session.
