To the editor: Instead of our governor and Legislature trying to find ways to fight the incoming Trump administration, California should stand back and take a look at what is missing here. A side-by-side analysis of job and wage growth, tax burden, employment, fiscal health and public pension reform will show why California is lagging and what makes other states success stories. If this is what they think is years of progress, we could do with a little less of it. The Democratic “progressives” lost the presidency, the Senate and the House — oh, and also the next Supreme Court appointment (and maybe another one or two). Many of his initiatives can be reversed with the same pen and Rolodex he used to imperiously initiate them in the first place.
