Here is my current report card:

He has appointed members of La Raza to the State university regents.
He supported a Sierra Nevada Conservancy that Gray Davis vetoed, authored by a socialist from Santa Cruz.
He has a appointed member of the Sierra Club heirarchy to the CalEPA.
His hydrogen fuels program is a thinly veiled corporate agricultural scam.
He didn't lift a finger to stop gay marriage and has signed "domestic partners" legislation that violates in spirit, if not in letter, Proposition 22.
He continues to negotiate with Cedillo on drivers' licenses for illegals.
The prison guards rolled him completely for a pittance now in return for more later.
He "negotiated" minute concessions from the universities in return for more money later.
He grabbed revenues from cities and counties with a promise to return it later.
He "negotiated" a minute reduction in workman's comp premiums when all he had to do was copy Arizona's plan and put it on the ballot.
He signed SB 50.
He's raising more money than Davis ever did, INCLUDING from the tribes he swore he would never solicit. In return for that he got a pittance compared to his the amount of gambling revenue he was boasting he would get. My bet is that the revenue won't even offset the direct cost of State social programs to deal with the results of gambling. Instead, he is well on his way to implementing organized gambling statewide.
His planned "deregulation" of electrical rates has totally ignored the illegal contracts Davis' people negotiated under a conflict of interest.
He used his popularity to foist a constitutional amendment that makes it possible for the State to balance a budget by borrowing and called it "cutting up the credit cards."
He opposed Prop 54 (Racial Privacy),
He didn't support SaveOurState,
He rolled over on the spending cap.
Supported open primary proposition
Promoted $3 Billion Embryonic Stem Cell Research proposition
He is currently co-opting Ted Costa's effort to give California a just reapportionment system with one of his own.
He appointed a person who advocates tracking every mile you drive and charging you for it as head of the DMV.

Other than that, he's doing a great job.

I think I'm going to convert each line item into a link. It'll take time, but this thing is getting big enough that it may warrant the work.

All you need to know is that it is a Los Angeles Times article. Not worth the paper it is written on. Regarding the Orange County Register only the editorial page is conservative/Libertarian. The front page and the rest of the paper is direct from the Boston Globe and the New York Times. Parley
