Union backs union candidate!
Steven Greenhut: Here’s a dog-bites-man story from Orange County, where liberal Republican Todd Spitzer, a staunch union ally who foisted unsustainable pension benefits on the county as supervisor, just was endorsed by a law-enforcement association (union) for his new run for the seat. Per the Spitzer camp: “The Association of Orange County Deputy District Attorneys has given Todd Spitzer their ‘enthusiastic endorsement’ in his campaign for County Supervisor in the 3rd district. The endorsement of the county’s criminal prosecutors was actively sought by both Spitzer and his only opponent, ex-State Assemblyman Chuck Devore.”
Of course, some of the beneficiaries of Spitzer’s largesse (actually, taxpayer largess dished out by Spitzer) will endorse him. And Spitzer can always be counted on to support anything the law enforcement unions want, so this is about as surprising as, well, the teachers unions supporting Jerry Brown.
