Stop paying California representatives

To all California politicians: Your job is to serve the people of the state of California, not to draw a paycheck for failure to serve. Until you and our other government representatives actually do your job, I respectfully suggest that you refuse to accept a paycheck while Californians get stiffed.

Further, I request that you cause a change in the state constitution to reflect that failure to properly budget is cause for pay forfeiture until such budget is passed.

This statement was made by Hallye Jordan, spokesperson for the state controller: "It would be our druthers not to pay legislators and state officials, but that would violate the state constitution." TJ Zeiler Camarillo
