The Legislature holds hearings on cow tails instead of concentrating on the budget

"Right now, in the midst of a budget crisis, they are debating about cow tails, and I think that this is inexcusable," Schwarzenegger said, referring to an Assembly committee hearing on a proposal to bar dairies from cropping bovine tails.

I'm inclined to say "only in California", but New York can't even get their senate seated.
