The governor appointed a commission of unnamed people to create this plan. Careful reading of the CPR reveals that it is designed to do away with elected representation, change the California constitution to institute a regional council system of government and eventually do away with county governments, which are the mechanism for our electoral process and gives Californians greater access to their representatives.

The CPR claims to create a more transparent government, but instead creates unnaccountable bureacracies that consolidate power in the governor's office.

Irrespective of the merits of the Governator's commission and it's recommendations I detect a turf war here. If the article's premise is correct I am (still) glad I didn't vote for Arnold the RINO.

The Little Hoover Commission, formally known as the Milton Marks "Little Hoover" Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy, is an independent state oversight agency that was created in 1962. The Commission's mission is to investigate state government operations and -- through reports, recommendations and legislative proposals -- promote efficiency, economy and improved service.
