Under lock and key

Republican senators in California's legislature are being threatened with imprisonment in the capitol building again until at least three of them agree to violate the no-new-taxes pledge they took. Two have already agreed to do that so all the pressure, coming from Democrats and the governator, is on finding one more.

A better solution, one Democrats have within their grasp, would be to reduce expenditures to compensate for the absence of tax increases. That would yield a budget everyone could support.
