Assemblyman Brian Dahle, a Republican from Bieber – the town, not the douchey singer – will take over for Mayes starting September 15, reports the Press Enterprise.
Mayes faced widespread condemnation from his own party after voting to extend California’s Cap-And-Trade Program to 2030. Immediately following the vote, a conservative website accused Mayes of having an affair.
Our political system is seriously fucked up right now.
