California legislators probably justified the expenditure for this after calculating the carbon footprint of policy-makers blowing into the breathalyzer while a police car idles nearby:
California Senate officials earlier this year hired two part-time employees to provide late-night and early-morning rides for members while they are in Sacramento, a 24-hour service that follows high-profile drunken driving arrests involving lawmakers in recent years.
The office of Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León declined to discuss the details or rationale of the program.
"We're not going to provide comment, because it's a security issue," spokesman Anthony Reyes said.
Senate records show two "special services assistants" were hired Feb. 2. They work in the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Office, where their duties include providing "ground transportation for Senate members." The employees, a retired Assembly sergeant-at-arms and a retiree from the Department of General Services, are paid $ 2,532 per month.
Heaven forbid these blootered plastic bag-banning losers pay for their own cab rides home.
