Sen. Cedillo says, 'This is the year'Ummm, Gil? You still have to get Governor Schwarzenegger to sign this bill to get it made into law. And the last time I heard from the Governator, he wasn't flinching on his position on this matter.
Will eighth time be the charm for driver's license bill?Legislation to grant California driver's licenses to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants will be pushed in 2006 for the eighth year in a row - and this time the iron is hot for success, its author contends.
"The dynamics have changed dramatically, and in our favor," said Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles.
Cedillo said the new bill will be very similar to Senate Bill 60, vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in October.
California's political scene has shifted significantly since then, Cedillo said, citing three examples:
- All four of Schwarzenegger's government "reform" proposals were defeated in the Nov. 8 special election, prompting the governor to reach out to Democratic leaders.
- A shake-up of Schwarzenegger's top-level Cabinet elevated Republicans Fred Aguiar and Dan Dunmoyer, and Democrats Susan Kennedy and Daniel Zingale, all of whom Cedillo says are pragmatic, knowledgeable and not closed-minded on the issue.
- Even in conservative districts, voters are becoming less extremist, as evidenced by the recent Orange County election of state Sen. John Campbell, R-Irvine, over Jim Gilchrist to fill a vacant congressional seat, Cedillo said.
Besides, even if it was signed into law, it would conflict with Federal law, but I don't think your teeny-tiny brain got that far in thinking this all the way through - even after eight years.
Gil, you do know that mixing perscription drugs and alcohol is a major NO-NO, right?

Comments on Don't Drink & Legislate
I'm actually with you on this one Mikey, although you know George Bush wants the "Guest Worker" legislation to pass so he can get the Hispanic (read Mexican) vote for Republicon candidates.
BTW, wouldn't this advice be good for your old buddy, the hillbilly heroin addict, Rush Limburger (or whatever that obnoxious shits' name is)?
