Tonight is the final debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown (CA Gov), and in two and half short weeks we will see if our state will be blessed with Brown or punished with Whitman.

.......... Whitman keeps insisting, over and over, that the nanny, Nicki, was "like family," and that she, Whitman, could do nothing to help the Nanny. Really? Imagine my surprise this morning when I read a letter to the editor.

Letter below....

How to stand by your nanny

In response to the letter from Margie Fraiser (Letters, Oct. 10), I will tell you what I would have done differently -- what I did. I hired a nanny through the same agency as Meg Whitman. My nanny presented a Social Security card and California driver's license. Six years later, I learned that my nanny was here illegally. We stood by her. We appeared in court on her behalf and, when she was able to obtain the right to work in the United States legally, we rehired her. That's how you treat someone who is "like a member of the family." Whether Meg Whitman learned that her housekeeper was here illegally in 2003 or 2009, couldn't she have shown some compassion for the woman?
