Best Minds Flee Local Politics

That's the headline on the editorial by Marcos Breton in the Sac Bee.

Breton uses the example of West Sac Mayor Christopher Cabaldon running for Assembly as an example of a 'best mind' 'fleeing local politics'.

When you add the exodus of people such as Cabaldon, what's left is a passel of plodders, unproven talent, a few good eggs and some real stinkers.

I like Cabaldon. But I sincerely hope our local politics is the shithole Breton makes it out to be. Shouldn't local politics be a trying ground for people to move on to bigger things? Isn't that how it's always been?
