GOP senators drive state vehicles that average 19 mpg compared with the Democrats' 30 mpg, the survey found. Republicans also chose cars that cost nearly $3,000 more on average. Assembly Republicans, at 24 mpg, get 6 mpg less than Democrats and picked cars that cost nearly $4,000 more

I, for one, am shocked and appalled by this.

/think of the children

Good to see the real problems are solved in California.

What are you trying to say submittard? That they really don't care.

I am shocked and or appalled by this.

While more lawmakers are going hybrid-green, the Capitol's most powerful Democrat was rolling candy-apple red in a $38,600 Dodge Charger with 22-inch rims, yo

Wow, just wow.

That guy must have a really, really tiny penis.

Prolly masturbates with a pair of felt lined tweezers and a magnifying glass.

FAIL.

Why is CA paying for car leases for legislators?

Why is CA paying for car leases for legislators?

Because they voted it for themselves?

Because the legislators voted a heaping helping for themselves?

/I think I'm going to mail in a xerox of my butt along with my Cali tax return this year.

Well that's one way to spin the article, subby and also douchebag who wrote it and made it the second paragraph.

Bonzo: /I think I'm going to mail in a xerox of my butt along with my Cali tax return this year.

Wow, talk about disclosing one's assets!

Is the pictured Camaro the Charger in question? I don't get it.

Is "yo" in the Chicago Manual of Style?

Useless without pics...gotta be black

Here's to hoping you mean the car.

22's? On the car belonging to a dude from Oakland?!

RE:Why is CA paying for car leases for legislators?

I think we pay for their lunches, trips, if they get up off their asses and come in to work they can punch the clock and leave for the day with bonus pay. No matter how bad the state budget is they vote themselves a raise every chance they get.

I drive a charger r/t. So. Much. Fun.

h to the 'ojo: When it comes to partisan driving, Republican lawmakers lag Democrats in both fuel efficiency and fiscal restraint.

GOP senators drive state vehicles that average 19 mpg compared with the Democrats' 30 mpg, the survey found. Republicans also chose cars that cost nearly $3,000 more on average. Assembly Republicans, at 24 mpg, get 6 mpg less than Democrats and picked cars that cost nearly $4,000 more -- although the state caps its costs.

Indeed, subby's attempted spin is full of fail.

He represents Oakland, not Palo Alto. You think his constituents would respect him if he drove a Prius? Obviously they thought the Charger was bas-ass enough to steal. The guys who stole it will probably vote for him.

who cares? if i was an elected official I would take full advantage. I'd be rollin' in a new truck and take 6 week bass fishing vacations every year (on business of course)

News?

Generic politician: "Do as we say, not as we do."

I still don't get rims. They're.. hubcaps, right?

19 mpg and $3,000 more on average... Sounds like republicans just buy more cars from american companies.
