PRESTOPUNDIT -- "An intense brain-buzz, guaranteed" (2blowhards)

Ted Costa offers the Governor a deal -- "balance the budget and get the state out of the financial mess it's in" and he'll cancel the recall. That's right, Costa, as the man who filed the original recall, can withdraw his notice of recall at anytime, bringing the recall effort to an immediate halt. Quotable:

"I'm willing to stop the recall if he's willing to stop handling the budget crisis with smoke and mirrors.''

Who wrote these laws, anyway?

Ted Costa runs People's Advocate, founded by tax fighting legend Paul Gann. Worth quoting:

The California Constitution gives enumerated powers to the legislature. But the people of California have reserved the right of initiative, referendum and recall. We promote the use of these powers reserved by the people to fight higher taxation and to promote reform.
