No longer Senate Republican leader Dave Cogdil

Finally the Republicans get some backbone!

Around 11 p.m., a group of GOP senators, unhappy with the higher taxes that Senate leader Dave Cogdill of Modesto agreed to as part of a deal with the governor and Democrats, voted to replace him in a private caucus meeting in Cogdill’s office.

To the Republicans: Stand your ground on no new taxes!

Not having a budget might be devastating to the State Government but taxes will be a fatal shot in the heart for every California Tax Payer!
