发帖数: 626 | 1 前几天有人问为什么80-20要教训 Paul Fong
和 Leland Yee？Paul Fong 大家都无异议。
Leland Yee 有人认为是 80-20 算老账。
其实不然，Leland Yee 在 3/17 SCA5 被打
回参院以后数小时之内还在声称
“We did not ask that this thing be torpedoed.“
而Ted Lieu 承认 “I believe SCA 5 was the wrong solution“

以下节选是Ted Lieu 和 Leland Yee 3/17 下午的采访
=====================================================================
In interviews Monday afternoon, Democrats Lieu and Yee both said they
support affirmative action in higher education and would like to see a
repeal of Proposition 209.
星期一下午民主党议员 Lieu 和 Yee 接受采访时都声称他们会继续支持高等
教育领域少数民族照顾法案，会继续需求废除209条款。
“My position on 209 hasn’t changed. But the solution to 209 has changed.
And I believe SCA 5 was the wrong solution,” Lieu said.
Lieu 说：“我对209条款的立场没变，但是解决方法变了，我认为 SCA 5 是
错误的解决方案。”
“The concerns we heard were from all over. It was Vietnamese Americans, it
was Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, Jewish Americans.”
他继续说：“我们听到了来自各个族裔选民的呼声，有越裔，日裔，韩裔，甚至
犹太裔美国人向我们表示关切。”
Yee said he wanted to slow the process to address critics’ concerns.
Yee 声称他愿意放缓该法案的进展来考虑反对者的意见。
“I felt that it was important that we keep the Asian American community
understanding the importance of this particular bill,” Yee said. “That’s
why we did not oppose the bill. We did not ask that this thing be torpedoed.
We just simply said take the time to sit down with the constituents that
are out there and work it out.”
Yee 说：“我感觉最重要的是让亚裔社区理解这个法案的重要性。那就是我们
为什么没有反对这个法案。我们没有要求把这事黄掉。我们只是要求多花点时间
坐下来和我们那些选民商量着办。” |
