Hiding Signs, Making Toothless Resolutions - The Yacht Party In Sacramento

View the original

The Yacht Party wrapped up their convention in Sacramento yesterday, and while they didn't censure the members of the caucus who voted for tax hikes, they did deprive them of support in future elections.  There's a problem with this, of course - only Dave Cogdill and Anthony Adams are running for their seats in the next election, as everyone else is termed out.  In addition, what this really prevents is slate mailers, not really anything else.  It doesn't prevent mailers that candidates can buy a spot on, or funding from individual members of the party, etc.  This measure is good for the "heads on a stick" crowd but not for much else.
