Perata Locks Out Moderate Dems
State Senate leader Don Perata ordered three Democratic senators briefly locked out of their Capitol offices today in retaliation for attending a fund-raising event for the Assembly's business-friendly Moderate Caucus. Perata was upset that senators Ron Calderon of Monterey Park, Lou Correa of Anaheim and Gloria Negrete McLeod of Chino met with a caucus that has helped derail bills opposed by business organizations. Legislative aides say the three senators did not intend to join the caucus or extend its reach into the Senate. Guest host Jon Beaupre talks with Capitol Weekly Editor Anthony York about Perata's unconventional disciplinary action.
