DESCRIPTION:California is the only state that requires its annual budget and new 
 revenues to be approved by a super-majority rather than a simple majority 
 of legislators. As a result, Democrats in the California legislature must 
 face off yearly with right-wing Republicans who demand that major 
 environmental and workers' protections be overturned in return for their 
 vote, and have made harmful concessions in order to get a budget passed. 
 \n\nOur dysfunctional state budget process threatens to destroy our quality 
 of life. What can we do to change this hostage situation? Former 
 Assemblymember and Speaker Pro Tem Sally Lieber will discuss options and 
 efforts underway to reform the budget process and how we can help.\n\nSally 
 Lieber was elected to the California State Assembly in November 2002 to 
 represent the 22nd Assembly District where she served until being termed 
 out in 2008. Ms. Lieber developed a reputation for being an extraordinarily 
 hard-working and productive member of the Legislature, tackling many 
 substantive issues and having significant legislation signed by both 
 Democratic and Republican Governors.\n\nIn addition to serving as Speaker 
 pro Tempore of the State Assembly, Ms. Lieber also was Chair of the Joint 
 Legislative Committee on Ending Poverty in California, Vice-Chair of the 
 Assembly's Committee on Local Government and Chair of the Assembly's Select 
 Committee on Mobile homes. She also served on the Assembly's Committees on 
 Natural Resources, Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials, Judiciary, 
 Insurance, Health, Aging and Long-Term Care and Human Services. Before her 
 election to the State Assembly, Sally served as a Councilwoman and Mayor of 
 the City of Mountain View and as a Santa Clara County Commissioner.\n
