The new California state budget worries assemblyman Mike Villines of Clovis. He's sat with the Big Five in Sacramento and as we reported on Wednesday, believes in the next month that Lawmakers will be grappling with another 8 to 10 billion dollar deficit.

In part two of our exclusive Central Valley Focus interview, our own Jon Brent goes one on one with Villines, who blames the environmentalists for the water crisis. We also discuss his run for insurance commissioner in 2010 and his fears about national health care reform.

I agree! And let's get this correct for the record. People that work in the environmental field are not "environmentalists." The term environmentalist has become synonomus with people who are obstructionists and anti-development. Speak truth to power for once. People in state resource agency positions are doing their jobs, working within regulatory frameworks that both republican and democratic administrations are responsible for propping up and in some cases, weakening. I agree..LOSERS!!

Who cares what Mike Villines thinks? He is part of a party that doesnt matter anymore. Insignificant. The party of liars, do nothing, party panderers. The republicans. He is such a whiner and a suck up. He is also a laughable charactor. I use the term "charactor" loosely as he has none. He like his brotheren cons should be tarred feathered and run out of the country. Just like their president and lying smurky sidekick DICK! lol you cons make me laugh. Fearmongering will get you no where. Loser.
