Cal GOP – will ‘no new taxes’ fall to ‘tough on crime’?

The two have been political stalking points of conservative Republicans for decades, and the new California budget deal put them on a head-on collision. Some Repubilcans now want to back out of the deal because it will release almost 30,000 inmates.

Assembly GOP leader Sam Blakeslee claims this is a double-cross and he didn’t know about it, even though newspapers have reported it for a couple of days already.
