Your explanation would probably be better posted on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1041469/posts, which discusses McClintock's ABX5 9 speech (where I got the quote) and Prop 57.
If you start a thread for ACAX5 5 or Prop 58, you might need to get something from McClintock in the title to attract more attention (from his supporters and from his detractors), unfortunately. Most people don't care about the props yet.
Nope. I'm not the author of the explanation nor did I get it from Calcowgirl. I posted the explanation anonymously as soon as I received the author's email this afternoon. The reply to you was the result of reading your comment just after having read the email. They were remarkably similar and someting I hadn't realized. Remember the topic of this thread is widely seperated from the shenanigan described. Sorry.
The author is apparently having serious second thoughts about what he/she helped achieved in October. Reading between the lines of the introductory part of the email, I don't think the author realized the degree of spousal influence in the new executive. The author requested anonymity because while his/her name is probably not easily recognizable on this forum it would be to the person whoes signature is now on the bottom of the author's paycheck.
If you start a thread for ACAX5 5 or Prop 58,
In view of the current war on vanities I'll pass. Calcowgirl will spread the word.
