San Diego mayor calls for business climate fixes to aid jobs
San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson, a leading candidate for the 1978 Republican gubernatorial nomination, told Long Beach Rotarians that California faces a widening jobs gap over the next two to four years unless the business climate improves. He blamed high taxes, youth demographics, and the Brown administration’s closures of the commerce and tourism departments, urged support for a state constitution amendment to curb strikes and binding arbitration, and proposed using part of the surplus to repeal the business inventory tax.
