First point – I find it appaling when grown adults resort to name-calling and finger pointing. The Democrats and the Republicans have both made mistakes. Both sides have lied, misled, cheated and stolen from the people they were elected to represent.

Second point – Just because a Latino is voted in to office, it does not mean they are the best person for the job nor does it mean they can actually do the job. I am Latina and I never think to myself, I am owed this job because I’m an educated Latina. I work hard and I have earned everything I have because of my hard work. I think we should strive to encourage each other by holding each other up to a higher esteem. Crooked people are crooked regardless of race or ethnicity. No one in this blog is tearing anyone down. We are free to express our thoughts and beliefs in a mature discussion. No two people will ever agree with each other 100% of the time.

Third point – People should spend less time blaming others. If you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem. When we cast blame on others we are giving them control over our lives as if to say, I can’t get things done because I have no power. If that’s the game the politicians want to play, then I fear for my future and the future of every citizen of this state.

“Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. ”
John F. Kennedy

1. Do an Audit of state govt. for the last 10yrs.
We will find all the waste and graft. Use
those funds for necessary services.
Education, health, transportation …

2. Make the state legislature part time with part
time salaries. In Sacra. only 90 days out the
year. The majority of states are part time
and some do a GREAT job. Do a public job
performance evaluation. This will stop them
from wasting time on a bunch of meetings,
passing a bunch of bills and instead spent
time making existing laws work.

3. Get rid of all the “consultant” crowd. Don’t
need them. Have all the public employees
take a class on how to learn from the people
and how to respect them.

4. Have the state hire ONLY people that believe
in public service and are not going to view the
the State govt. , funded by our taxes, as a
RACKET .

I am sure there are a few other ideas. Now let’s just keep it simple.

Next will be county govt. There we will start with the rudeless bus drivers that don’t stop and wait for viejitas and handicap to catch up to the bus. Then move on the County Un-Healthy System.

Stop fantasizing about me. lol

That’s ridiculous. Eliminate the 2/3 rule and stop voting for Republican action heroes. In fact, stop voting for all Republicans because all they ever do is wreck the economy.

Anna says…”The Nunez case has nothing to do with Latino politics, and his case has nothing to do with our lives. His father isn’t even in office anymore.”

Anna – You are one crazy piece of work.

This has EVERYTHING to do with Latino politics, you don’t think there aren’t strings trying to be pulled behind the scenes? You don’t think Nunez won’t be calling on friends in high places? If this has nothing to do with Latin politics then WHY did all of those Latin Politicos send letters in on behalf of Nunez’s son? Some even admittedly stating that they have NEVER met his son, but yet are attesting to the so-called character of this boy. They did it for the father – their political bedfellow.

And you are so WRONG that this has nothing to do with our lives. This case has everything to do with my life. My son was one of the victims and I am Mexican-American. This is my life right now. Those scumbags took my son’s friend from all of our lives and we are left to try to pick up the pieces.

Engage your brain before you speak next time.
