This from the California Faculty Association(CFA) Assembly--
Of what use the governor???(Their words, my title)
"3. While Gray Davis was still the Lieutenant Governor, I attended his luncheon address to the CFA Assembly. During his presentation, he made it very clear that he supported merit increases. In spite of this position, the CFA endorsed him for Governor and made contributions to his campaign! Some CFA and CTA leaders supported Gray Davis in the primary election for Governor so early in his campaign that Gray Davis was fourth in the public opinion polls behind 3 other Democrats. Today, can you name any other Democratic or Republican opponent who would have made electricity blunders costing the State of California billions of dollars? Today, can you name any other Democratic or Republican opponent who would have permitted the CSU faculty to work without a new contract since July 2001? Today, can you name any other Democratic or Republican opponent who would replace full-time faculty with a majority of temporary faculty? Amazingly, some of the current CFA statewide leaders have endorsed the re-election of Governor Gray Davis. The latest estimate of the budget deficit is $17 billion. How large must this deficit become until you admit that Governor Gray Davis has been a disaster for the State of California and for the CFA?"
