Did any of you actually read the story....sheesh!
She was kicked out for not voting at all:
No, she lost her office because she didn't side with the Democrats
Assemblywoman Nicole Parra kicked out of her
office
Bass referred reporters to a couple of Parra's colleagues, who expressed outrage at her refusal to vote.
"Every Democrat in our caucus is expected to put a vote up on the budget, and to hold the budget hostage . . . to me is intolerable,"
said Assemblywoman Patty Berg (D-Eureka). She added that fellow Democrats have spent millions of dollars helping Parra win election in her
conservative district.
Her not voting to "
hold the budget hostage" is what they are po'ed about.
It wasn't just the fact that she didn't vote, but that she didn't vote to support their, shall I say "
agenda", in "holding the budget
hostage."
Ridiculous! Should be illegal, pressuring somebody to vote they way YOU want them to!
She is there to represent the people who voted her into office and vote in
THEIR best interests, not the "best interests" of a
PARTIES that
SHE joined!
What a bunch of B.S., and to have the gall to to act outraged, about her not voting the way
THEY wanted her to vote, to reporters is
outrageous in itself!
