We need more debates between Meg and Steve
The debate today between Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner finally gave voters a reason to take interest in this campaign, a month before the election. They both got digs in at each other over their financial situations and the immigration issue.
But, curiously, neither one could name an initiative they’d like repealed. That should have been easy. For starters: the bullet-train boondoggle. Just last Friday, two days ago, the state Auditor criticized it as a boondoggle. The bond was for $9.7 billion.
With the state’s finances such a disaster, putting a repeal on the ballot in November is a must.
Is either of these two ready for prime time with Jerry Brown in November? As I’ve been saying, they need more practice debating each other. They should hold two debates a week until the June election.
