Assemblywoman Shirley Weber doesn’t pick her fights with great consideration of who her opponents are.
If she did, she probably wouldn’t attempt to change how police use deadly force or raise the bar for teacher tenure.
Law enforcement organizations and teachers unions are among the strongest interest groups at the state Capitol, and they really don’t like what she has been trying to do.
But anyone who has talked with the San Diego Democrat or heard her speak in the Legislature can not only feel her passion but understand why she’s not daunted by big obstacles.
