Sacramento Democrats Target Munger Transparency Measure
by JON FLEISCHMAN15 Jun 2016
Bay Area billionaire and moderate Republican mega-donor Charles Munger, Jr. has proposed a transparency measure, the California Legislative Transparency Act, likely to qualify for the ballot this November. However, Democrats in Sacramento may try to stop it first.
Munger’s measure would require that proposed legislation be published in its final form and available to the public at least 72 hours before it can come up for final votes for passage in the California State Senate and Assembly.
It also contains language that would require that all public proceedings that take place in the legislative process be filmed and made public within 24 hours, and that the public be allowed to film public proceedings as well.
Many of the worst votes in Sacramento happen in “last-minute” deals in the State Capitol, where there is no opportunity for legislators to hear input from anyone not in the middle of negotiations. In almost all of these bad deals, special interest groups win and taxpayers lose.
Breitbart News has learned that Democratic legislative leaders are working on an alternative ballot measure to stop Munger’s transparency measure. Furthermore, special interest groups are busy concocting a plan to put forward their own ballot measure, which at this late date can only happen by an act of the legislature – which would require Republican votes, as it takes a two-thirds vote of each chamber.
