Assembly GOP caucus wants budget below $7 billion

That's according to a confidential Assembly Republican Caucus document I've obtained, the product of an informal survey by rookie Brent Jones, a charter member of the so-called "MFers" -- Michele Fiore and her Know-Nothing Party.

"Where did you get that?" he asked, then added, "I can neither confirm nor deny that is mine."
