Still, we should celebrate good ideas. And Baugh – who told me
Tuesday that he accepts his share of the blame for this situation –
ended his talk with a good proposal: "No candidate will be
supported by this party who receives contributions and endorsements
from public employee unions." Now we're getting somewhere. Union
power needs to be attacked at its many sources, whether it means
proposing pay and benefit cuts that are best for taxpayers but
anger union officials, forcing unions to pay their tab to the state
or exerting some countervailing political pressure to union muscle.
It's heartening that more California officials are recognizing this
truth...
