Pam Spaulding over at The Blend has an update on the fate of pending LGBT-related legislation on the desk of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as he runs for re-election.
Mad Professah has blogged about a number of important bills that were being considered in the Assembly this session, particularly openly lesbian State Senator Carole Migden's SB 1827 (State Income Tax Equity Act) and openly lesbian State Senator Sheila J Kuehl's SB 840 (Health Care Access for All) and SB 1437 (Bias Free Curriculum Act).
Even though I'm in Montevideo, Uruguay right now I am interested in following the state of these bills as the deadline for the Governator's decision arrives at the end of the month. Plus free hotel wireless internet is a wonderful thing!
So far the Governator has vetoed the Universal Health Care bill (he "doesn't believe in that sort of thing") and the Bias Free Curriculum Act, despite the author making substantial changes to both bills to court his signature. I haven't seen any reports on the domestic partner tax cut bill except for news reports about Assembly Republicans being put in the awkward position of not voting for a tax cut for the first time in recent memory (prejudice over principle, I guess!).
Hey, I'm still on vacation until Monday...light blogging until then...
