CA Public Employee Unions Push Bill to Block Public From Negotiations

Democrats advanced legislation supported by public employee unions this week that would block the public from seeing collective bargaining negotiations between labor and government until they are complete.

This goes beyond Franciscan Law, this is strictly Old Mexico style corruption.   Our legislature are not the kindly Doonesbury plastic liberals we think, they ae quite corrupt and bribery flows constantly, like Old Mexico.
