Arnold's bad rap
Washington Monthly, Jan-Feb, 2006 by Charles Peters
Most of the reporting about Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent ballot measures focused on the politics of winning or losing and the relative power of the governor and the lobbies opposing it. I didn't see a single article in The Washington Post or The New York Times that made a serious attempt to examine the merits of the proposals. One of the measures would have granted teachers tenure only after five years' service instead of two.

Since the inability to get rid of bad teachers is a major problem todm5 this proposal made sense to me. Actually, none of the other measures, although more debatable, seemed as easily dismissable as much of the press implied they were.
