Over at The Liberal OC, Dan Chmielewski reports on the latest Don Wagner sighting, this time at a "Family Fun" night at a local elementary school:
Asm. Wagner: 18 Month Extension on Taxes Likely to Get Needed GOP Votes on Budget
excerpts:
State Assemblyman Don Wagner said Friday that if Governor Jerry Brown pushed forth an 18 month extension of the taxes instead of the five year plan Brown wants, the Governor would likely get the Republican votes he needs although Wagner made it clear, he wouldn’t be one of the Republicans voting to extend the taxes....
...One neighbor, who’s done the legislative action battles with me for years, asked me who he (Wagner) was. I told her Assemblyman Don Wagner. She asked, “will he do anything to help get us more money for our schools?” I said, “Unlikely.”
I’ll concede one thing to the Assemblyman; unless Democrats can come up with a great candidate to beat him, we’re likely stuck with him for the next five years as he keeps the seat warm while delivering no meaningful legislation to impact the amount of state education dollars to our well-below average funded local school districts.

The man is a right wing toad despite his education, and given the abhorent state of our local electorate he's completely safe unless he's caught with a pair of naked boy scouts. Even at that it would be iffy for our locals to turn him out.
But isn't he just like most of our trustees and administrators who have been systematically voting for and advocating the underfunding of education in CA?
Even Glenn who forwards all those emails from Scott Lay doesn't support plans that would help fund schools. None of them do.
