The scorecard is in – Mimi Walters is the worst state legislator in California!
(Excerpted with permission from “Eddie’s Corner”, the weblog of Eddie Rose at www.eddierose.org.)
The California Consumer Federation of California (www.consumercal.org) is an excellent organization, dedicated to the protection of the rights of the consumer. The California Consumer Federation publishes a quarterly newsletter, The California Consumer, in which it tracks state legislation affecting the consumer.
In the Fall 2009 issue of The California Consumer, a “Consumer Scorecard” was published, in which California state legislators (Assembly and Senate) are rated in terms of their support of or opposition to legislation affecting the California consumer.
Not surprisingly, the VERY WORST state legislator in terms of support for the consumer is none other than the State Senator from the 33rd Senate District, Mimi Walters. Ms. Walters had the dubious distinction of scoring 6% for the year 2009, based upon her votes on bills affecting the California consumer. This means that, out of 17 bills, Walters voted AGAINST the consumer 16 times!!! Furthermore, she is one of only two California legislators with a voting record in SINGLE DIGITS!!!

*Baptism by fire……Hey Eddie…welcome to the Jungle! There is little doubt that with your written automatic rifle…..you will be drawing fire before long.
You and Mimi seem to go way back….there seems to be some very mutual animosity at work here. What’s the inside story?
Hi, Ron and Anna—
Here’s some addidional “Mimi” info for you. When “Mimi” served on the Laguna Niguel Special Events Committee back in 1993/1994 (before either of us were on the City Council), and there was a motion before the Special Events Committee to approve a Menorah Lighting Ceremony in Crown Valley Community Park in commemoration of Chanukah, “Mimi” was the ONLY committee member who OBJECTED! (I guess she felt a Menorah was a “religious” symbol—apparently UNLIKE a Christmas tree which, in her warped way of thinking, obviously was not. Fortunately, the courts have repeatedly disagreed with “Mimi” in repeated rulings.)
Mimi looks like a man with that crew cut. Janet has always been a man,
*”No bagels for Mimi!” It
could become a popular bumper sticker…perhaps?
Well, since the Consumer Federation has made it a mission to repeal the 2/3 vote requirement to pass a budget, the only thing between us and total fiscal annhiliation by the Democrats in our business-hating state house, I guess I only have one thing to say – Bravo Mimi!
We share your contempt for Mimi Walters. There will be quite a number of people in her home county that will NOT be supporting her run for state treasurer!
