A few comments before I go: I saw an updated budget number for CA and it was a deficit of $41 billion dollars . . . great! How is that even possible?
Also, concerning Meg Whitman, she seems like a likeable and reasonable, fiscally conservative candidate. However, if she was truly interested in meaningful change in CA, she would also advocate a part-time legislature. Even if she was the best governor ever (and we had the same hope for Arnold), things would likely reset to chaos once she was out of office. This is the only thing we can do for substantive and lasting reform.
Also, in case you needed another reminder, please send some money to reformcal.com!
