Mike Fitzgerald: San Joaquin officials must put up dukes to battle political maneuvering

Posted by: Maven on November 8, 2009 at 6:31 am

From Stockton’s Record, this from columnist Mike Fitzgerald:

“In a staggering display of insensitivity, the governor of California last week chose Stockton as the spot in which to get goose bumps over passage of the state water package.

“Part of this package,” gushed Arnold Schwarzenegger, “is to fix the Delta and to build a canal around the Delta. … That was great news this morning.”

Pause for applause. No applause. If Schwarzenegger still had that data readout that used to appear in the Terminator’s field of vision, it would read, CRICKETS.

May I suggest why? It’s not the cynical subversion of the legislative process. We saw that handwriting on the wall long ago. Though I must say you guys outdid yourselves.

It’s not the Quisling collaboration of certain big environmental groups, though those dupes legitimized the rape of a wondrous estuary. …”
