During July 2009, Meg Whitman, a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of California, was interviewed by George Will. Will reported that Whitman favored shrinking the number of Assembly districts in California. At the time, this seemed odd, because California has only 80 Assembly districts, so each Assemblymember represents over 400,000 constituents. Many Californians are frustrated because an ordinary voter has little or no chance to communicate with his or her Assemblymember. Whitman has since clarified that she does not, in fact, desire to reduce the number of Assembly districts in California.
I assume she still thinks the ballot initiative process has “outlived its usefulness”, and is thereby disqualified for office. She seems very anti-democracy to me, despite whatever line she may have given to George Will.
She is a narrow minded know it all whom ‘shoots from the lip ……..’
