I am totally outraged at all of the California politicians, especially those who are blocking a budget settlement. I do believe that those who are blocking a settlement should be the first ones to get an IOU. Then they might possibly begin to understand what it’s like for the rest of us to not get paid. To target the mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and children, to name a few is unconscionable. I volunteer as a governmental advocate for the National Alliance on the Mental Illness (NAMI) in San Diego County. You’d better believe I’ll vote on behalf of the seniors, disabled, mentally ill and children. Someone in Sacramento needs the courage to stand up and lead and do right by our least fortunate.
