Reporter-G calls us out

By Fred Ortega on February 28, 2008 10:14 AM | | Comments (0) |

Former Star-News star reporter and SGV Tribune politics editor Gary Scott was kind enough to point out how deluded we (and the SacBee's Dan Walters were) when we hypothesized that Portantino was a top candidate for the speaker position.

Scott also tells me he thinks Portantino's run, unsuccessful as it was, will actually help him become more influential in the Assembly because it proved he has fund-raising acumen and gave him some added name recognition.
