Capitol Alert, the Sacramento Bee's online news service that reports exclusively on the state Capitol, today issued a statistical analysis of the 2008 bills passed by the Legislature and signed or vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Two Ventura County lawmakers are prominent in one category: fewest bills signed into law. Sen. Tom McClintock of Thousand Oaks and Assemblywoman Audra Strickland of Moorpark had zero. They were tied only with Sen. Ed Vincent of Inglewood, who missed nearly all the 2008 lawmaking session because of illness.
