As a lifelong Californian, I'm always surprised that businesspeople in our state support Meg Whitman. She has never started a company, or served the state as an employee or elected official. For that matter, she has only voted about 50% of the time. And ebay's success is really due to its founder, Pierre Omidyar. Ms. Whitman came on board and when she took over, she alienated many users and employees with her bloated acquisitions and micromanaging. Most importantly, during her tenure ebay sellers sold billions of dollars of fake goods- mostly software, video games, movies and other intellectual property. These industries are the lifeblood of the California economy and businesses were robbed of billions of dollars of revenue. This lost revenue and subsequent reduction of tax revenues have hurt many businesses, large and small, as well as all Californians. We cannot afford a political neophyte at this critical time. Ms. Whitman should start by learning about the issues, voting on a consistent basis, maybe volunteering or teaching- get involved in the community and the state. Then come back in ten years and let's see what she has learned.— July 8, 2009 3:58 p.m.
