I Know Yours Are Worthless, But What Are Mine?

Assemblymember Ray Haynes (R- Temecula) stood up on the Assembly floor and, during the debate of ACR 43 (Horton) regarding meal breaks, railed against “worthless resolutions”.

We guess they are only worthless when he doesn’t agree with them.

According to legislative records from the 2003-04 Legislative session, Assemblymember Haynes introduced the following “worthless resolutions”:

ACR 164 Ronald Reagan Day: This resolution recognizes February 6, 2004, and subsequent anniversaries thereafter as Ronald Reagan Day.

ACR 222 Small Business Month: This resolution proclaims the month of May 2004 as Small Business Month.

AJR 22 Judicial Nomination of Miguel Estrada: Resolution that urges the United States Senate to hold a vote on whether or not to confirm Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

AJR 23 Estate Taxes: Resolution that urges the President of the United States and the Congress to support legislation that would immediately and permanently repeal estate taxes.

AJR 24 President Bush’s 2002 Economic Growth and Tax Relief Plan: Resolution that urges Representatives and Senators in the United States Congress from the State of California to support and enact President Bush's 2002 Economic Growth and Tax Relief Plan.

AJR 25 Pension and Individual Retirement Accounts: Resolution that urges Representatives and Senators from the State of California in the United States Congress to enact legislation that would repeal the expiration date of the existing law related to the limitations imposed on the amount of tax-deductible contributions made by taxpayers to their individual retirement accounts.
