AB478
On closer examination, I have decided that Babs has a plan.
This loan thing is simply something that she started, and because of a combination of a refusal by lenders like Koster’s and Dollar Loan Centers to be reasonable, and Babs’ tendancy towards vindictiveness, has not been thought through, but has been pushed forward.
It has however, become a useful tool for Babs and her agenda.
According to sources in the Senate, this bill will probably not pass, but since her real agenda has to do with all day kindergarten and money for the school district, AB478 will make great leverage. It becomes a matter of, I’ll give a little here if you’ll give a lot there.(we are after all talking about Babs.)
As a side note:
I happen to agree with her education agenda, we need better education in this state, and education costs money.
She sent an email to a lobbiest saying she was willing to negotiate on AB478, but, she never showed for the appointment. Even the lobbiest agreed that in this case she wasn’t being deceitfull, she was just too busy.
So I suppose it’s not carved in stone, but we still have to see what her amendment(s) is/are.
This is the part in politics where the bill passes committee and is then changed and goes back to committee gets rubber stamped and is sent on to the floor, without any real debate, as if there was any real debate to begin with.
In politics, things are never the way they seem.
