The crime here is that these Democrats are obviously too stupid to live, let alone govern. Bribes are not about political horse trading on policy preferences but rather accepting things of value for personal gain in exchange for a vote. This charge has been made before by the same people all the while ignoring what could be considered actual bribes received in exchange for votes they wanted. In the past Republicans who voted for taxes were rewarded with cushy, sinecure jobs on state commissions. Look it up.

I wonder how “negotiations” are supposed to take place without a little give and take on both sides.

The unions and enviros are deathly afraid that they will lose some of their ill-gotten gains.

Brown, Swanson and Skinner are all dimmiecrat political hacks, beholden to the unions.

Perhaps Jerry Brown should be investigating the Democrats in Sacramento who do whatever the unions want (humm, could there be a connection between campaign contributions from unions and how they vote?)

This is hilarious.

What is “compromise” that Democrats keep telling Republicans but a more delicate version of legislative horsetrading?

Jerry is being a big baby. Bug-eyed finger pointing such as this is not what Californians want in a Governor.
