You Want Justice? Whaddya Got To Trade For It?
-
We KNOW about the quid pro quo situation in politics, but it's still annoying when we see the details. Take the California legislators who voted to waive environmental laws for the proposed new NFL stadium near Los Angeles and were later treated to Lakers playoff tickets by the developer. In a separate matter, Disney, which gave the legislators tickets to see "Iron Man 2" and "Toy Story 3," just happens to be looking for the California legislature to change some employment regulations. What a coincidence. The only way to change this is to make taking ANYTHING from anyone with any business before the legislature punishable by a long prison term. And the only way to make THAT the law is to win a vote... of the same legislators. So, we're all screwed. (Los Angeles Times)
