Summary:[Tom Bradley] has sided with environmentalists in supporting Proposition 65. Top Bradley aides helped draft the initiative, and Bradley has made [George Deukmejian]'s record of handling toxic waste a centerpiece of his campaign. While environmentalists are pleased with Bradley's gradual shift in policies, the change is not welcomed by some of the business people who have worked closely with Bradley in Los Angeles. "The water community does not respect the mayor's views on water," said E. Thornton Ibbetson, chairman of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District. Kristy Flynn, Deukmejian campaign spokeswoman, scoffed at the Sierra Club endorsement of Bradley, saying that Southern California club members had been critical of Bradley's handling of sewage spills into Santa Monica Bay and his approval of oil drilling in Pacific Palisades.
