PETE BARTON WILSON
The California politician signs, "with best wishes," on this black
and white publicity photo
Inscribed Photograph signed: "Best Wishes/Michael/Pete Wilson," in
black felt tip. B/w, 8x10. Republican politician Wilson, born in 1933,
has a long career in California politics, serving on the state assembly
(1967-1971) and as Mayor of San Diego (1971-1982), U. S. Senator from
California (1983-1991) and Governor of California (1991-1999). A
fiscal conservative as mayor and Senator and strong supporter of national
defense and President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative in
Washington, D. C., he angered conservatives during his first year as governor by
raising state taxes (in the land of Ronald Reagan, no less) by $7 billion to
cover a deficit left over from the administration of George Deukmejian. But
Wilson generally made headlines for more conservative actions, including
his support for "Three Strikes" sentencing requirements, enacted in
California in 1994, and for 1994's Proposition 187, which barred illegal
immigrants from social services, health care and public education; resuming the
death penalty in California; reducing infrastructure spending; and, in 1995,
convincing the University of California's Board of Regents to eliminate their
affirmative action policies, thus becoming the first state to eliminate racial
preferences in college admissions. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso.Fine condition.
