Heh,
wanna know where the California legislature is?
Not in Sacramento. They're in Monterey, Palm Springs or in Mendecino on "retreats" to go over the upcoming bond measure.

This seems like no-brainer stuff to oppose, IMO. I could seemmaking all such things subject to review by an independent board of citizens.

Or even making it into a TV show. I'd watch Porkwatchers.

Tully, this post isn't part of your retaliation at those meeting-minded wingnuts you were telling us about the other day, is it? ;)

No, it's noting how much junketing is done not by politicians, but by bureaucrats. There's no reason in hell to have HUD conferences in Barcelona, for example. Sheer waste, sheer arrogance. Pissing away taxpayer money to give themselves fancy vacations.

And I wish. We're letting those particular elected officials know personally what boneheads they've inflicted on us. I'm still PO'd about that meeting. When the agenda calls for a simple up/down yes/no vote and that's ALL that's on the agenda and you've spent a year working on the consolidated federal grants application to get to that pro forma recommendation to forward to the legislative body, and then the bleeps that skipped most of the meetings all year show up and start debating national politics and making asinine substitute motions to insert dueling condemnatory wingnut editorial rants into a bleeping grants application and waste a couple of hours of my life, I get annoyed.

Thank goodness for Robert's Rules of Order. The chairman and I are now on the same wavelength, and it won't happen again. As it was it took voting down NINE substitute motions to shut them up and go back to the original motion to approve the application--which as I said was pro forma, there was no chance at all we would vote to not approve after spending a year getting it in order. We might be there yet if I hadn't bullied the chair into growing a backbone and shutting down the BS. A motion to adjourn is always in order. Yippee! When they kept at it and refused to stop the idiocy I just kept making motions to adjourn, which had to be voted on themselves and allowed the rest of us to get a word in edgewise in "discussion of the motion." Said words mostly consisting of telling the two fugnutties to shut the hell up and find another venue for their argument so we could go back to our lives.
