I’d really like to be able to read this article in full to see where you get this “as another example of crappy governance, this time at the state level”, but I can’t because it’s behind the LA TImes paywall.

If you’re referring to Feinstein, she isn’t local, she’s federal, and it would make my heart rise to hear she’s never going to run for office again.

If you’re not, there’s not enough of the article available to see where you’re coming from.
