One Bean Apparently Remains Uncounted

Re “Who’s Counting Beans Now?” editorial, Jan. 8: The Times is quite right to point out Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s newfound concern about mandated spending. It was also on solid footing when it chastised the Democratic Legislature for its profligacy when our fiscal crisis reached critical mass during the recall campaign.
However, I’m waiting for one more editorial. That would be the one that confesses The Times did everything in its rhetorical power to encourage the free-spending ways of our politicians. Until recently, year after year, election after election, The Times endorsed nearly every bond issue that made its way to the ballot. To borrow a phrase, who’s counting beans now?
