In the race for governor the environment is an "also ran." (influence of environmental issues on the 1998 California gubernatorial elections)(Soapbox)(Column)

Article Abstract:

The diverse environmental problems in California have made them a central issue in the November 1998 gubernatorial elections. However, the political agenda of candidates Gray Davis and Dan Lungren lack a strong and clear position on the issue. Moreover, the state continues to face conflicts in water distribution and other environmental problems associated with growth. The resolution of these issues depend upon the political will and commitment of elected public officials to sustainable development.
