Davis Wants His 'Vision' Implemented
By SCOTT LINDLAW Associated Press Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Democratic Gov. Gray Davis has offended lawmakers of his own party by declaring in an interview that the Legislature's job is ``to implement my vision.''

Davis told the Chronicle in a story published Tuesday that members of the Assembly and Senate ``have a totally different view of the world than I do.'' Democratic lawmakers are generally more liberal than Davis.
He said that because he won election last year in a landslide, the Legislature should defer to him.
``Their job is to implement my vision. That is their job,'' Davis said.
Is this true? Is CA so far gone that the Gov. thinks he is a supreme ruler? And is the Legislature even more liberal than he is?
