Editorial: A start, but what kind of a start"

Our view: Anytime the bottom half of the state says it likes the water solutions, we immediately become suspicious.

So where is the ER when State Legislature assemblymen are now asking the Attorney General (jerry Brown) to decide if their is legal grounds for having the state commission's decision that regulates their pay and per diem, having their decision to lower their pay by 18% overturned as unconsitutional. Where is the paper that is supposed to protect the electorate, inform the electorate, of such an selfish and deliberate abuse of power. They (the legislature) has an 17% approval rating, and they want MORE money for their jobs. When does the press get some balls and start standing up to this behavior by demanding action of it's readers?
