About once a year I seem to be moved to write a letter to the editor of the Sacramento Bee and they usually seem to be moved to print them. My latest missive was in this morning's paper (I didn't think this one would get printed) and you can read it at http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/story/1546739.html
The title of the letter is Fault Lines. It is getting some comment on the forum, some positive and some negative.
Our California State Budget is in a mess and there is no easy fix. Furloughs for some State Employees are looming and some of the offices, including the DMV, will be closed two days a month. Cuts to several fairly important services will have to be made and we do need to raise taxes. People are saying that it isn't the fault of the rank and file employees. Of course it isn't. It is really everybody's fault and nobody's fault. President Obama and the Governator can't solve the problem. Only we can.
The Patient, by the way, is feeling quite himself these days. I've been having to tell him that "you can't do that yet".

dear miz - i think the new prez could fix things up in a jiffy by giving every tax paying citizen $100,000.00. that would get the economy moving, maybe help the banks a little, and certainly chase away the bluesies.
