CA: Governor names EPA chief Tamminen as new Cabinet secretary

The two moves indicate to some a desire on the part of the governor to break with more conservative policies championed by former members of Republican Gov. Pete Wilson's staff who have dominated the first year of his administration.

That's a good one... considering some of the legislation he signed and stances or non-stances he has taken so far.

;0)

[farmfriend]

I don't have you guys on a ping list but thought you should be pinged.

[farmfriend]

More conservative? More conservative than what? Peter Camejo?

so.... Is RFK jr going to replace Tamminen as EPA chief now?

[SierraWasp]

"Zaremberg added his praise to the appointments of both Tamminen and Campbell, saying both were well-qualified and committed public servants."

What an un-mitigated and total STOOGE!!! And this stooge is speaking for the entire CA Chamber of Commerce??? Shazzam!!!

You are absolutely right C.O.! It's all been so predictable!!! AS will be weighed in the balance and will be found wanting... BIGTIME!!! (a little Cheney lingo for ya)

Dang capitalists! It's all Bush's fault. /s

[SierraWasp]

Well actually, I expect this croud to go dig up ol John Sutter and command him to do an EIR posthumously on his danged sawmill in Coloma and his fort in the town he denuded, now the Crapitol of CA!!!

I mean... What better way for the mighty Arnold to make amends for calling the taxing Dems... "Losers" to their taxing faces??? Ha Ha Ha!!! According to this artickle, he's "reaching out!" (and touching someone inappropriately?)

[SierraWasp]

"Is RFK jr going to replace Tamminen as EPA chief now?"

That's next on the agenda!!!

[farmfriend]

(and touching someone inappropriately?)

There you go making me barf again. I'm going to have to quit reading your posts if you keep this up.

"Tamminen, a former Santa Monica-based environmental activist who once sued the state over ocean pollution, takes over one of the administration's most influential positions. Along with serving as the gatekeeper of access to the governor, the Cabinet secretary is also a member of the governor's senior staff and traditionally one of the most trusted aides. "

I am certainly sorry to hear this.

I was hoping that Arnold will start to trend towards more conservative agenda, not more liberal one.

[SierraWasp]

Well... wasn't he known as the "Gropenator" at one time? By the way, I read a headline earlier this week that the case against him was going to court about this very subject!!!

If you do a news search on Zaremberg over the past year-and-a-half, you find that he is consistently there to back some of the more contentious proposals by Schwarzenegger.

Zaremberg was Pete Wilson's legislative secretary then became a lobbyist for the Chamber of Commerce, before becoming President in 1998.

As of December 19, 1990, when Wilson appointed him as legislative secretary, this was his resume:

* Allan Zaremberg, legislative secretary. Zaremberg has worked for Deukmejian for 10 years, first as his legislative representative when he was attorney general, then as deputy legislative secretary in the governor's office and finally in the top job.
