CA Sen. Perata uses lockout to teach senators a lesson over fundraiser - Los Angeles Times

Three California senators — Ron Calderon of Montebello, Lou Correa of Santa Ana and Gloria Negrete McLeod of Chino — attended a fundraiser for the moderate caucus at The Kitchen, an upscale restaurant. The event, organized by Sacramento consultant David Townsend, raised $232,000 to help pay for the caucus staff that researches every Assembly bill and distributes the analysis to caucus members with recommendations on how to vote. Senate President pro tem Perata ordered the locks on their doors changed before the three legislators returned from their districts Monday.
