I meant nothing of substance from the campaign claims, i.e. saving billions in fraud and waste. It also says that the results of the audit have been incorporated in Arnold's budget that was proposed. That is the $99 Billion budget proposal that Elizabeth Hill says has a $7 billion problem.

From the hopes that were instilled in voters minds at the time of the October election, I still think one can say they found nothing of no substance.

Does the article address some ideas of what SHOULD or COULD be done? Sure. But there has never been a shortage of ideas. Those just never seem to find their way into the implementation phase.

I'll make a prediction.. Nothing significant will change as long as the demRats are the majority in both houses of the legislature.

Which brings me to some of the key changes that needs to be made... a redo of the structure of state government (single body, shortened legislative sessions) and elimination and culling of the plethora of agencies embedded in bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy... add in privatization of some of the services currently provided, and then we can say that real change is afoot.
