Davis wants Senate OK for list of appointments

SACRAMENTO - Gov. Gray Davis is urging the Senate to return to the Capitol before he leaves office to confirm a list of last-minute appointments that would name some of his top aides to jobs with six-figure salaries, according to a Senate Democrat.

Legislators are wrestling with whether to reconvene. Legislative aides say some are supportive, but that others are worried such appointments would smack of backroom dealing and would make an easy target for Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has portrayed himself as an outsider ready to clean up Sacramento.

The amazing thing is that any of the sleazoids in charge of the California legislature would care about how they look to the citizens..
