About this cartoon: The miserable California budget mess prompted calls to cut the pay of the deeply unpopular state legislators — already among the highest-paid in the nation — by ten percent, a move supported by Gov. Schwarzenegger (who doesn't take his salalry). The commission that sets the pay rates fell one vote shy of approving the cut, but Schwarzenegger was poised to fill three vacancies on the board with people who would support these cuts.
