19. Uh, I don't think of him as a progressive.

Haivng had to live since 1982 with a skin condition resulting from aerial spraying of malathion that he approved so a Japanese contract with some big growers in Central Valley could profit a considerable fortune, I don't much respect him.

And in the last three years, he is all about his water tunnels. Critics of those projects demonstrate again and again that all those projects will do is spend money, to the tune of at least 25 billions of dollars, without really helping us any.

John Garamendi is the type of individual we need running California. (Not that Feisntein would ever allow for that.)

And if Garamendi was governor, in addition to decent water projects being proposed, maybe the California Covered website would not be half broken, and set up to enable the Big Insurers to commit even more fraud.

Oh well.
