Governor hopefuls campaign in S.D. Gubernatorial candidate Peter Ueberroth used a town hall-style meeting in San Diego to tout his economic plan yesterday while Republican Tom McClintock hosted a local talk radio show and defended his continued presence in the race. Ueberroth, a Republican businessman running as an independent, outlined the centerpiece of his evolving plan to rescue California from its fiscal morass – a constitutional requirement tying state spending to changes in population and inflation.
