LAT liberal columnist George Skelton has a solution for California's budget crises: bribe some Republicans in the California legislature with judgeships or other cool jobs, or cash. Dem legislators need two Republicans in the Senate and seven in the Assembly in order to pass tax increases, the only way Dems can think of to balance the state's budget, which has a $15 billion hole. Cutting expenditures never occurs to them.
So that's what's taking so long -- the budget deadline was June 30th? The Republicans who plan to sell their votes are waiting for better offers.
