In response to a piece I wrote earlier in the week about hating the California Legislature, Tracy Hall writes in and sums the whole mess up.
“Californians don't hate their legislators - they hate your legislators,” Hall writes.
Well put.
That’s right, it’s not my guy – I live in Mark Leno’s district – it’s someone else’s fault! This thinking seems to apply at all levels. People don't like Congress but they keep re-electing their Congressman. And it applies to the San Francisco Board of Superivisors. As much as they’re disliked and distrusted, surveys show city residents still prefer candidates to run from individual districts.
