SD33 Watch: Mimi Won't Take The Raise

Martin Wisckol notes over at Total Buzz that Assemblywoman Mimi Walter's will refuse to accept the newly approved pay raise.

Smart move.

Mimi's heading into what promises to be a bloody, expensive state Senate primary against Anaheim Councilman Harry Sidhu. If she'd accepted the pay raise, Harry and his consultant Duane Dicharia would have beaten her over the head with it. Then again, they already have one pay hike stick to beat her with, but that is what it is.

And for the record, I support Mimi and plan to vote for her in June.

I'm with you, Jubal. Rather than donate it to charity (however worthy, Lou), why not leave the funds in state coffers!

I think the whole charity thing is a fraud. Who knows if they really do it, who knows if they are just using the money from the raise to replace other money they were already giving?
