The Reg regurgitates Raghu revisionism

Raghu P. Mathur
     A friend reminded me today that, about two weeks ago, the Register's crack Editorial Board endorsed two of five candidates running for Laguna Hills City Council, including—you guessed it—Raghu Mathur. (See.)
     Here’s what the Reg had to say about Mathur:
As a former chancellor of the South Orange County Community College District, Mr. Mathur had an uneasy relationship with employee unions after tough negotiations over compensation and benefits. Nevertheless, he lists "civility" in city government as one of his priorities on the council, along with transparency, accountability and ethical behavior.
     Golly, is that what all the fuss was about?
     Nope. Not even close.

Anti-John Williams press conference tomorrow!
