Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Wednesday

Don't make me get up.

AEG is threatening that if the City Council doesn't get behind the Farmer's Field Stadium by early summer the entire city will be leveled by an Alien Death Ray.

If it's Wednesday in Los Angeles, it's time for an update from the great state of Wisconsin! Today, we now find that 4 Republican Senators have had recall petitions filed against them. Activists have gathered 140% of needed signatures in each recall drive so any challenges face little chance of survival. If the recalls are even partially successful the balance of power could shift in the Wisconsin Senate.

Gov Jerry Brown has finally found a rational California GOP lawmaker that will join him on his statewide budget tour. Assemblyman Cameron Smyth has agreed to attend a forum on Thursday in his home town of Santa Clarita. Gov. Brown has received multiple rejections to his invitations from Republican lawmakers who appear to be deathly afraid of KFI blowhards John & Ken.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the BP oil disaster. And it's still a big mess.
