Wilson’s Budget

There’s good news and bad news in Gov. Pete Wilson’s State of the State address and his proposed budget (Jan. 10).

The bad news: Welfare families could be encouraged to put “unaffordable” children up for adoption and corporations would receive another tax cut. The good news: California’s schoolchildren wouldn’t have to read about Dickensian England; they’d be living it.

To paraphrase Dickens: It was the best of times (for a few), and the worst of times (for the rest of us).
