Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

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.

For those of you new to Capitol Alert's caption contest, the process is pretty simple:

1. Look at the picture.
2. Pick a caption.
3. E-mail it to us.

When sending in submissions feel free to request anonymity. However, only those willing to have their real names published can win the grand prize: a $25 gift card to Starbucks.

Entries are due by midnight at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday.

Again, send submissions to captions@capitolalert.com.
