Namely, that which doesn't support your position. Surprise, surprise!
""I got yanked and replaced on his first full day in office by literally the lobbyist for his biggest campaign contributor," he said. "At the end of the day, what yesterday proved was an intellectually honest kids-first agenda is probably one of the most radical political agendas in the state of California."
CTA president David Sanchez said the union was thrilled by the new appointees because he believed the board had been stacked with too many members connected to charters, which are mostly nonunion.
He said that although there was no quid pro quo, "we did work our butts off with getting the word out" about Brown's candidacy, adding that he had told Brown of his concerns about the board numerous times. Sanchez also said that if Brown proposes June ballot measures to help fund schools, "we're going to invest time and money in it."
Critics say the string of appointees was more than payback for the union's support during the election, it was an effort to keep them and their coffers in Brown's corner. The union is a powerful voice in California politics and was instrumental in foiling several Schwarzenegger ballot measures in 2005."
Paybacks to Unions. More concern for Unions than constiuents. No surprise here. Jerry Brown is out for Jerry Brown.
