Jesse really wasn’t that bad of a governor, all things considered. He pumped a lot of money into education across the state and focused on reducing class sizes. He made public transportation a priority. He also supported LGBT rights and abortion.
His hostile relationship towards the press really bothered me, but even that was never as bad as Trump’s outright war on journalism and at least he was very consistent in speaking to the voters directly when he felt he was being misrepresented by said press rather than just screaming FAKE NEWS like that’s a valid rebuttal…
He wasn’t perfect by any measure, and there’s a lot he can be rightfully criticized for. But compared to any Republican governor (at least in my lifetime)? Far better.
Yep, at the very least he was governing trying to be good, and had/has a conscience. No comparison to the outright evil for evil’s sake going on now.
i dont think people have forgiven him, at least the wrestling fan community over him ditching the wrestlers, because they wouldnt unionize with him which he started, he practically asking to “out to wrestlers to be fired” . he felt safe to do it because had sag-afta money as a backup plan. hulk hogan and vince wouldve retaliated against the wrestlers.
