Mungers v. Brown v. education

Whenever I watch squabbles among trustees in small school districts, I like to believe this only happened in small, provincial places. Surely, more enlightened people would know what's best for everybody, agree to disagree, and work together toward common solutions.

Not so. Just watch Molly Munger in a mud fight with Jerry Brown. Munger, who's sponsoring a ballot measure that would increase taxes on most Californians and give it mostly to education, has begun running negative ads against Brown's Prop. 30. Munger's determined to have Brown's proposition defeated, and hers come out triumphant. The end result, Prop 30 is now sagging in the polls and not really helping Prop. 38, Munger's initiative.

This is good news for the anti-tax cruzaders, as both initiatives will likely go down in defeat. For education folks, who will see a really bad dip in their moneys come next year, it's really bad.

Even the PTA, which sided with Munger's initiative, is urging her to make peace with the governor. 

Sad. Nobody seems to be talking about the issues anymore, just about who's more right than the other.

Can the real adult please step up?
