Thu, 02 Aug 2012 06:19:02 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/?p=20566#comment-85912 Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski needs to be held accountable for his municipal bankruptcy legislation, gleefully signed by Gov. Moonbeam (whose Prop. 30 should be re-titled the “Bureaucrats’ Pension Bailout Tax”). He is a tool of the public employee unions, which are dead-set against municipal bankruptcies because they affect their members’ over-sized pensions and over-generous “lifetime health care” benefits. Analysis of the Stockton and San Bernardino city bankruptcies likely will show that Wieckowski’s legislation did nothing more than to cost the cities more time and money — delaying the inevitable. Bob McHugh could’ve made this a race in November if he’d been No. 2, but this clueless Republican seems incapable of articulating anything worthwhile. Wieckowski wants to be a state senator in 2014, so there will be another opportunity to demonstrate that he is not a responsible legislator again soon.
