Spot the Trend

This from the WSJ:
Last Friday, [California] Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez told reporters during a conference call that he wouldn't consider canceling the special election unless the governor's office pledged in the future not to back any attempts to reform the state's budget process or restrict the right of public employee unions to spend member dues on political causes without written permission.
If you recall, a few days ago I pointed out California liberals desire to take legislative power out of the hands of the people and place it the hands of the few (presumably liberal) who know better than you what is in your best interest. Now they think union leaders (presumably liberal) should not be accountable to their members in determining which political causes (presumably liberal) to support.

This is rather interesting in light of what is going on at the AFL-CIO. It seems as though the Teamsters and Service Employees Union don’t think the AFL-CIO is acting in their best interest, but apparently Nunez never got the memo.
