California Legislators Propose 2,000 New Bills

Bet the word "restraint" doesn't show up in many of them.

Friday was the deadline for California lawmakers to file bills, so we have a map of the legislative landscape. As of 5 p.m. Friday, here's the count: Assembly: 1,376 bills; Senate: 813 bills.

There are also 10 constitutional amendments proposed in the Assembly and 13 in the Senate, and there could be more -- there's no deadline for those.

If I were an intern in one of the legislators' offices, I'd insert a clause mandating that all California legislators were to be beheaded on the front steps of the legislature at the end of their first term.

(Just to see if any of them actually read the bill, of course.) :}
