Distracted GOP lawmaker accidentally OKs California budget
Not The Onion!!
http://www.sfgate.com/business/technology/article/Distracted-GOP-lawmaker-accidentally-OKs-6328946.php
A Republican lawmaker accidentally cast his party's first vote for the California budget in years because he was distracted by Facebook.
Assemblyman Scott Wilk was the sole Republican to vote for California's record $117.5 billion spending plan Monday.
The Santa Clarita lawmaker later clarified he accidentally supported the bill in the Capitol while opposing it on Facebook. He posted on Twitter "My wife is right — I can't multitask!"...
Wilk's blunder won't show up on the official legislative record because the Assembly allows lawmakers to change their official votes.
