I remember asking a Herald reporter about the consensus around Sam when he was newly elected. He said, “he’s too dumb to do much harm.” I also recall he promised the Monterey Bay Labor Council a no vote on NAFTA, but was convinced by charismatic B. Clinton to vote yes anyway, and he’d give him fed funds for a university on closed Fort Ord property. Which, last time I checked was more of a real estate empire than a school, with a campus resembling a ghost town. Monterey loves its dynasty politicians.
