As far as the world is concerned, the Bates Thefts controversy is over.
Tom Bates, the new mayor of Berkeley, pleaded guilty to petty theft and paid a $100 fine for tossing into the trash 1,000 copies of a newspaper run by students at the University of California that endorsed his opponent in the November election. Mr. Bates, 64, an assemblyman for 20 years, was easily elected on Nov. 5, a day after the paper, The Daily Californian, endorsed Mayor Shirley Dean for a third four-year term. When he took office last month, Mr. Bates apologized at his first meeting with the City Council.That's from the NY Times, so at least a major paper took a parting shot at Berkeley's 'impetuous' mayor. I figure I'm still gonna write a column about this, and be as vicious as possible. It's especially nice now because Bates' 'I apologize because I have to' tactics dovetail so nicely with the Trent Lott affair.Email This Post! |
