Nunez schedules vote during GOP caucus meetings

Both the Assembly and Senate GOP caucuses will be meeting in San Diego on Dec. 5 to talk about how to block progress strategy for the coming year. Well, Speaker Fabian Nunez has a different plan for that date. Specifically, he's scheduled a vote on the Democrats' health care plan for that day:

When Assembly Speaker Fabian N??ez postponed a floor session on health care until early December, he rescheduled the vote for the day the Assembly Republican caucus is slated to be in San Diego for its annual policy retreat.

Assembly GOP leader Mike Villines says he has spoken with N??ez, who told Villines he would "try to accommodate" but didn't promise to push back session from Dec. 5, when both the Senate and Assembly GOP caucus will be in San Diego. (SacBee CapAlert Latest 11.27.07)

I wouldn't expect the Assembly Republicans to miss the vote on account of the cancellation fees, but I suppose nobody is weeping at the Speaker's office over those lost deposits at the posh, non-union, digs the Republicans are surely meeting at.  But at any rate, the vote on 12/5 is far from a certainty, as the Governator hasn't given any plan (other than his 0-vote plan) his stamp of approval. But, it's likely the last opportunity for any plan to get on the February ballot.
