How Education Policy Is Made in Sacramento

Leaders of the California State Senate called off a floor vote on the Los Angeles "mayoral takeover" bill. Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata said the bill will be taken up Monday, but opponents are claiming the delay is because the measure lacks the votes to pass.

The bill's co-author, Sen. Gloria Romero, explained it this way:

"Some members wanted to have some extra time to read it, but those would be votes that would be gravy to the roll call. But as far as the votes that we need to move this out, they are there, they're solid."

It's good to know that the passage of this bill is not dependent on the votes of people who have actually read it.
