Budgets -- of various kinds -- are on readers’ minds in Friday’s Letters to the editor. A few write in about campaign fundraisers. Others sound off on the federal government’s AIG bailout. And, as California’s budget impasse comes to an end, another group of readers offer post-mortem thoughts. Charles Lomeli, treasurer-tax collector-county clerk for Solano County, suggests passing a Constitutional amendment to avoid future delays:
Failure to pass the budget bill by midnight on June 15th will render every legislator ineligible for reelection to the legislative body they currently serve.
William E. Raabe, of Fountain Valley, directs his frustration at Schwarzenegger:
Regarding Arnold, as Mr. T used to say, ‘I pity the fool.’ When he is called to the next world and must account for his life on Earth, he will have to defend bad movies, steroid use and worse budget leadership than Gov. George Deukmejian.
Indian casinos defend their stand against nonprofits who use gambling to raise donations, too.
