Reality Civics
When they come to Sacramento, people who live beyond the L Street corridor near the Capitol often are shocked at the rather crass way business is conducted here.
The private fundraisers with cheesy door prizes. The hallways outside the Senate and Assembly chambers cluttered with lobbyists. It's sort of Florsheim Gulch, California's answer to Washington's Gucci Gulch.
So, as a lesson in reality civics, the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights based in Santa Monica sent a handheld camera to Sacramento during the final week of the legislative session and caught some great unguarded moments of the Capitol in action.
