Great news on the bipartisanship front: A delegation of Republican and Democratic state legislators went to Washington, D.C., recently to lobby Congress for "more equitable federal funding," according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News.
It's the first time in five year such an effort has been mounted.
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and Republican Assembly leader Mike Villines of Clovis led a group 24 Democrats and seven Republicans to the capital, where they met with a gaggle of House and Senate members.
"Delivering for California on this is something we can all agree on," Villines said. "We hope some of the bipartisan spirit in Sacramento rubs off on Washington." Bravo.
