This is one of the first concrete, indicative actions that he's beginning to realize that politics ain't beanbag!!! That he ain't gonna charm and smarm his way through this challenge with nothing but his over-sized personality!!!
More power to him when he actually takes action like this that also has projective powers that lets these dumbass Demonicrats understand that even though he's married to one of theirs... he's done takin their crappola!!! So far they've done NOTHING but try their best to make a fool out of him!
Starting with that damned Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!!!
I'll second your comments re: stepping up to the plate and play hardball.
While I don't think he is a Hiram Johnson nor need he be necessarily,, as long as he patsycakes with the dems, we are losing more and more ground.. (no pun intended there about loss of ground and any connection to the SNC)
This state is sitting on so many ticking timebombs,, time is a wasting,, even now the dems are running legal actions to drastically reduce fund-gathering to push for reform initiatives in the fall.. not to worry tho, the money will be raised one way or another. You know the unions and CTA are coffer ready.
The dems have made no serious efforts to even consider real reform.. they pay lip service to change.. and here we sit with their legacy of deficits and schools barely able to teach the real assets and future of California, the children.
As if the chunk of what schools get is not massive enough for the unions to divvy up already,, you see why these battles need to happen..
Even peRATa was conciliatory re: Prop 98 needing some work done.
Hey Sierra, if it was his veto pen cutting spending, I'd be cheering.
In this case, two of those fired were republicans and all of them are put there in a 'fiduciary' role, not just to implement his plan.
From what I've seen of this plan, it's gonna cost more and the power shift to NY Banking firms is gonna be bad for California. What am I missing?
Now, if he ousted his appointee on CALPERS, Willie Brown, I would also cheer (fiduciary duty, or not! lol).
