[edit] Balance, please

Surely there is an undue focus on negative things about Mr Gonzales? I'm not saying remove them, but can we please have a more balanced article? I'm adding an NPOV tag until this is fleshed out. The man's entire life is not his legal woes. Surely he has had some further successes - he did achieve office and was an executive at HP, after all! - Ta bu shi da yu 12:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this article seems somewhat one-sided. The information is accurate as far as it goes, but but there is much more to Mr. Gonzales' history than his current legal troubles.--Estiveo 17:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I have researched and found some other career/political/awards that would help round out the article. It may still need more information. I found it hard to find his awards/innovations etc as most of the searches about now turn up the recent events. I also arranged the the censure/arrest to reflect more of a time line so not to fully over shadow his political career.TalkAbout 22:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems this investigation into the "NorCal secret labor negotiations' situation has not gone deep enough. Why would anybody tell NorCal they had to hire a different labor union than the one they had and pay higher wages? Why would NorCal have gone along with this? Would they have been frightened that one labor union wasn't good enough? Was another one better for them? It seems eerily close that Vice Mayor Cindy Chavez, a former Labor Negotiator, has not been brought in to this contoversy any more than what has been disclosed. Doesn't anybody besides me see a correlation here?

[edit] The article has been referred to in newspaper article

Or an opinion piece or whatever, here. I seem to recall that there's some template that's supposed to be added to this talk page in this event, but I don't recall what it is. --Aquillion 00:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
