CALIFORNIA LAWS are broken into 29 codes.

Click on anyone of them

and kick your feet up and start browsing.

In last Sunday's LA Times there was an article stating that approximately

300 new laws were going into affect starting with the new year.

300 NEW ones

UNFORTUNATELY THE WEBSITE LISTED ABOVE

HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED

SINCE 2008

I'm probably breaking three or four new laws just sitting at my desk.

I called the Governor's office asking what website listed the 300 new ones

and basically was told that they hadn't been updated to the Internet as of today.

Of course I'm also interested in 2009

I should probably go through the Sheriff's department

to obtain the information.

I mean a law is law (or 300 new ones in this case)

and someone is in charge of enforcing the laws....

and I assume it must be the Sheriff's office or the Police Department.

Maybe I'll just run out and start doing stupid NEW things

and see if anyone arrests me.

Since I'm obviously attempting to bore you to death.....

chew on this one for a second.

Last year in California there were

1959 BILLS INTRODUCED

1959!

AND WE SAY OUR POLITICIANS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING!

They are busy little bees swarming around in anybody

and everybody's business, trying their hardest to make sense

of our very large population here in California....and trying to figure out

why the sixth largest economy in the world (California) is flat broke.

I might be wrong but maybe all the laws being passed have finally

affected the adventuress spirit of our great state.

Maybe businesses moving to Nevada and Arizona...

are finally causing a

real problem.

The only thing wrong with that theory is Arizona

is also flat broke

and Las Vegas is giving suites away for peanuts.

I was in Vegas about a year ago and spent two nights there

for a trade show

and I keep getting notices for comp rooms and free play.

I'm starting to ramble so it's time to shut down.

Check out the California Laws

and maybe call your assemblyperson

and tell them to

relax

2010 could be the year where no new laws

are passed.

Who do I think I'm kidding?

But I really do think we just might have enough

to last us for awhile.
