Unfortunately President Bush won’t be getting his sewage plant.
Proposition R would have renamed the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. Supporters said it would have been an appropriate memorial to a president they blame for national woes from the Iraq war to the slumping economy.
The White House had declined to comment, but other Republicans have called the idea childish. Some critics pointed out the new name would have been unfair — to the hardworking sewage plant.
