The virtual silence is almost deafening out of California’s politician-class.
"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
Given the startling and serious nature of the allegations against Ron Calderon — you would think that there would be a lot of legislators stepping up to decry what he has done. Or if they prefer more caution — then they could at least critique the allegations.
But I am aware of only one legislator, Democrat Cristina Garcia, who has called for Calderon to step down. And Senate President Darrell Steinberg has at least booted Calderon off of the California Film Commission and has called for him to be stripped of his committees.
Come on, people. Show some leadership. The cynical public will probably just assume that the only thing that distinguishes Calderon from the rest of you is that he got caught.
