The California Senate today unanimously passed legislation to name the Devil’s Slide tunnel in honor of the late Congressman Tom Lantos, according to a press release from the office of Senator Leland Yee, who authored the legislation. The legislation must still pass the State Assembly, which Yee’s office described as “likely”.

Not shocking… politicians patting each other on the back… a la the Lou Papan stretch of highway in Pacifica.
I find it compelling that reps get lord knows what named after them, despite the plush-yet-mediocre job they seem to have/do. And that’s not my opinion… Tom Lantos’ own Congress, led by his own party, of which he was a ‘senior’ member of… has an approval rating of 19% … over 1/3 lower than President Bush’s approval rating… so where does that leave Lantos and his peers? There are some highlights to his record, I won’t argue that… but with 27 years in one of the highest revenue producing districts in the United States… enough said.
It’s always so easy to push these through postmortem. At least have the fortitude to name landmarks while they are still in office and their record/performance is up for grabs? Yet politicians, once again, pat each other on the back, and bestow yet another landmark honor.
You may as well rename the stretch of road from Montara-to-HMB the Jackie Speier Highway… just get it over with.
