California resolves budget standoff

This article can be found at CNN . From the article “The California Senate passed the state’s budget on Thursday morning after a marathon session, and the legislation received final approval from the state Assembly minutes later.” At least they finally got something done. But get this from the article “Sen. Abel Maldonado had been one Republican amenable to vote for the measure in exchange for various demands, and lawmakers worked to meet them to get his support. Senators voted for a measure to revise the state’s constitution to permit “open” primaries for legislative, congressional and gubernatorial elections. They also passed another, the removal of a 12-cent additional gas tax increase.” I have a problem with non budget things being in a budget bill. What doe open primaries have to do with a budget. If Mr. Maldonado wanted open primaries then he should have brought this up on something else other then a budget plan. These politicians have to stop sticking crap in bills and budgets that do no belong.
