Wilson, Feinstein on Term Limits
Wilson set priorities and cut property taxes. Meanwhile, Feinstein never set a long-term agenda, was reactive and raised taxes (“A Tale of Two Cities May Decide Governor’s Race,” Part A, Oct. 14). Yet the sewer system says it all. Feinstein had more foresight than Wilson. “Now San Diego is faced with a $2.8 billion tab for a new plant,” with no help from the feds; but it could have been done for $500 million, largely with federal money, if Wilson hadn’t thought that cutting taxes was an end unto itself.
Wilson is like the CEO of a company who focuses on this quarter’s results and doesn’t worry about the long-term consequences of his shortsighted decisions.
Look out folks, here comes another Gov. Deukmejian.
