STATE OF DISARRAY
- Share via
Jones’ attempted indictment of the California Legislature and everyone who ever had anything to do with politics demonstrated a new spirit of venal assertive ignorance of California’s history and the people who shaped that history.
He calls Unruh, who served with courage and strength as speaker of the state Assembly and as state treasurer, “driven and evil.” This about a man who authored the most far-reaching legislation in California’s history affecting civil rights, consumer credit, fair housing and a host of other important issues.
Jones offers no proof. Why bother? Unruh is deceased, and Jones can proceed with his reckless disregard for the truth with immunity.
