		Goldberg's legislative legacy, perhaps, was landmark legislation two years ago that guaranteed domestic partners virtually the same rights and responsibilities given by the state to married couples.
		Goldberg's softer side was displayed on the Assembly floor in 2002, when she began weeping, quietly, after Democrats killed a proposal by Assemblywoman Gloria Negrete-McLeod to require an additional swimming pool safety feature to prevent toddler drownings.

		Goldberg said the plan, which would cost an estimated $1 million annually, would extend health benefits to same-sex and opposite-sex partners of city workers.
		Goldberg said a 1987 survey showed 4.2 percent of the Los Angeles city workforce lived with domestic partners.
		Goldberg said the $1 million cost for providing health benefits to domestic partners is "a small amount of money" compared to the $21.6 million the city pays to cover spouses of city workers.

	CA: Assembly REJECTS Indian-mascot ban
		The plain fact is, Goldberg cannot accept that these big academic improvements, shown by test scores at many of the worst schools, are disproving her own unbending beliefs about what causes student failure.
		Goldberg, with the help of the California Teacher's Association, which also hates the reforms, is fighting back by insisting that Sacramento Democrats agree with her that poverty trumps all.
		Goldberg wrongly claims these rollbacks to reform are needed because, under the current reforms, teachers are being held accountable for socioeconomic factors they can't control.

	News & Politics
		Goldberg will almost certainly be heading for Sacramento in January after taking a landslide 60.1% of the vote in the Democratic primary March 7 (unofficial results with 100% of precincts reporting); the strongly Democratic makeup of the Hollywood/Eastside district makes winning the primary tantamount to winning the seat.
		Goldberg's runner-up with 31.5% of the vote was open gay Cesar Portillo, director of governmental affairs for the AIDS Health Foundation (a third candidate took 8.4%).
		Portillo charged that Goldberg's campaign was "whispering" about his past and planning to use it against him; both Goldberg and her campaign consultant flatly denied the charge, and Goldberg noted that while on the school board she had fought against the suspension of teachers on such "trumped up" charges.

		Goldberg has been trying to ban the use of American Indian names, mascots, and logos for two years.
		She turned a deaf ear to the Pala Reservation elders before, but, to get her AB 858 passed this time, she conceded that schools located near “Indian-controlled land,” whose Indians mascots had been endorsed by Indians, would be allowed to keep their own image.
		I think Jackie Goldberg is a model for all liberals who truly hate Indians, who truly wish to erase any distinction between indigenous cultures.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Opinion -- Flawed legislation
		A pair of Goldberg bills to dilute the governor's education role quietly slid through the Assembly last month and will be coming before the Senate Education Committee.
		Nor are we persuaded with Goldberg's contention that "nobody knows where the (school accountability) buck stops." While the superintendent may in fact be the only state education official elected by the voters, we believe the governor is ultimately responsible for the quality of the state's public schools.
		Since Board of Education members are appointed by the governor, it stands to reason that their authority should supersede that of the state schools chief who implements their policies.
