The Sacramento Bee (and California Insider) report on an upcoming Thanksgiving weekend "seminar" on CA's budget woes. It will be held at the Sheraton Maui, and paid for by the prison guard's union. Some legislators, in a fit of "ethics", will pay for the trip (with the wife and kids) "themselves" -- using campaign funds. The guest list is bipartisan.
Wientraub suggests that this apparently annual event may have a higher profile this year. Go figure.
