Michael Hiltzik pens what seems to me like a very fair 'n' accurate portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger's run as Governor of California. The laws of this state make it nearly impossible to solve its problems and Schwarzenegger failed to do the impossible.
This should not be a cause for joy or an "I told you so" for anyone. A lot of people are suffering because the situation is bad and getting worse. I read articles by people who seem to be praying for Jerry Brown to fail totally because, you know, he's a left-wing Democrat and it's awful when a left-wing Democrat makes things better. I don't understand that attitude at all.
