Joe Mathews weighs in on CalWatchdog piece

Dec. 5, 2012

Joe Mathews, one of the least ideological mainstream California political pundits, has weighed in on the analysis I did last week on the evidence that unions are trying to stifle direct democracy in California by monkey-wrenching petition drives, trying to invalidate successful anti-union ballot measures and urging union-allied lawmakers to interfere with the initiative-drafting process.

I think Joe is a bit naive, but I welcome him taking this issue seriously, unlike California’s myopic mainstream media. Here’s the link to his column.

I left a Facebook comment on his piece, but as of 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night, it wasn’t showing up, for whatever reason.
