As governor of California for eight years, Ronald Reagan proved what better government can do. By itself, California would be the eighth largest industrial nation in the world.

The state faced bankruptcy when Governor Reagan took office. And the legislature was dominated by the other party.

Asserting his leadership, Governor Reagan turned the state’s red ink to black. He gave the taxpayers $5.7 billion in tax relief, in the form of credits and rebates. He left his successor with a $500 million surplus. In 1973 he pioneered the now-popular tax reform movement, with his sponsorship of Proposition One. And in six of his eight years, California had a lower inflation rate than the rest of the U.S.

His welfare reforms produced dramatic result. By cutting out fraud and chiseling, he was able to increase grants to the truly needy by an average of 43%. It is not surprising that Ronald Reagan was twice elected by huge majorities — in a heavily Democratic state.
