SACRAMENTO — California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer gives a lot of speeches. Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi keeps tabs on Democratic fundraisers. Treasurer Phil Angelides makes time for reporters from coast to coast. And Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante doesn't do much — at least according to the daily calendars they keep.
--snip--
... But the calendars offer a glimpse at the work patterns of the seven statewide politicians, all Democrats — and sometimes provide a few telling details.
For example, Controller Steve Westly — a former executive with the private Internet auction service EBay — keeps a busy schedule, though it's not always clear what he does. His calendar frequently lists "private appointments" with no elaboration. On June 8 of last year, he noted four meetings with people or organizations and four blocks of time labeled as private.
That was an especially busy day for Lockyer but not for Bustamante, their calendars show.
Starting at 9 a.m., Lockyer telephoned the mother of a slain San Francisco police officer and talked with leaders of the police union and the county district attorney. Then he held a press conference on the prosecution of an alleged cop-killer, gave an interview to a Business Week reporter and was briefed by a legislative aide on a bill to keep cigarettes out of the hands of children.
At 6 p.m., Lockyer gave a radio interview and at 7:45 delivered a speech to business people in Fremont.
By contrast, Bustamante's calendar shows a sharply different day, even though his official website notes that the lieutenant governor is "involved in some of the most integral areas of state government." His June 8 calendar shows a single appointment — a 4 p.m. reception in the Napa Valley for the vice president of Taiwan.
