Assembly race right on schedule
Assemblyman Bill Emmerson spoke about the budget mess at the YMCA luncheon this afternoon. His brief statement was followed by two people who want his job: Mayor Kurth and Fontana Councilwoman Acquanetta Warren.
This was a fundraiser for the YMCA youth and government program. But if it were a try-out for Emmerson's job, Kurth and Warren came out tied.
Kurth gave a lukewarm speech about how he entered politics, poked fun of Chinese "democracy" and gloated about the Victoria Gardens success. Former Sen. Jim Brulte called it a "Rancho infomercial." One point for showing up at 11:45 a.m., right on time.
Warren showed up nearly an hour later, about five minutes after she was scheduled to go on stage. I've heard about this phenomenon of "Acquanetta time" before but I thought people were exaggerating. However, she gets one point for a nice story about being in high school and getting on the plane for the first time (PSA Airlines) to go to Sacramento. She got to be legislator for the day.
Mike Morrell, also running for Assembly, gets an honorable mention for working the room.
