A bill set to increase workers' compensation benefits may meet its demise at the hands of Calif. Gov. Gray Davis. Co-sponsor California Applicants' Attorneys Association, which spent $650,000 helping Democrats get elected last year, isn't happy. Gov. Gray Davis is more likely to veto the measure than endorse it, thanks to an agreement he forged with the Calif. Chamber of Commerce mandating an increase that would cost state employers about $400 million, a fraction of what CAAA seeks.

SACRAMENTO — Robert Vines is not a happy camper. The partner with Ontario-based Rose, Klein & Marias heads the California Applicants Attorneys Association, some 1,000 lawyers who specialize in representing injured workers.
The CAAA spent $650,000 helping Democrats get elected last year, then teamed up with labor this year to co-sponsor increased workers’ compensation benefits that even some of their opponents agree are overdue.
