“Today I say ‘goodbye, adios,’ I’ve had enough,” said Gloria Romero at a news conference at the state Capitol.
Trustees for the Anaheim Elementary School District heard arguments Wednesday both for and against whether they should appeal to the California Supreme Court a recent court ruling that would force them to convert Palm Lane Elementary School into a public school charter. Former California State Senators Bob Huff, left, and Gloria Romero spoke in favor of charter schools and in opposition to appealing the recent ruling in Anaheim, CA on Wednesday, May 10, 2017.
“We knew then about Gloria what California Republicans know best: the grift is real,” said Mark Gonzalez, former chair of the LA County Democratic Party. “While Republicans are catching up to years-old news, trying to stay relevant, Democrats have been working to keep them from hurting the same communities that Gloria used to champion.”
Romero was the first woman to serve as the California Senate’s majority leader and was termed out in 2010. In her speech, Romero provided a laundry list of reasons for exiting the party. This included the loss of parental rights in schools, increased crime, the rising cost of living, California’s homeless crisis, excessive funding for foreign wars and the lack of border security.
