Couldn't get to the story, but I'm pretty sure bribery is already illegal.

Here's a different link:

"Reporting from Sacramento -- Companies lobbying state lawmakers for favorable treatment can continue to shower them with tickets to Disneyland, Dodgers games and rock concerts after legislators scuttled a bill Thursday that would have banned such gifts."

"Members of a state Senate committee cited the $204,000 annual cost of enforcing such restrictions among the reasons they abandoned the proposal."

Well, there ya go. They're not corrupt, they're frugal.

Yeah when I saw their excuse it was just laughable at best. They probably think we are all dumb-asses.
