The paycheck initiative doesn't even have the GUB's support at this time, the redistricting initiative is under assault in the courts, and 'Live within our Means' is smoke and mirrors, imo.
Assemblyman Chuck DeVore represents Orange County California’s 70th Assembly District.. He served as a Reagan White House appointee in the Pentagon from 1986 to 1988 and was Senior Assistant to Cong. Chris Cox. He is a Major in the Army National Guard. Chuck’s novel, CHINA ATTACKS, sells internationally and has been translated into Chinese for sales in Taiwan.
Does he mean RINOs, or actual fiscal conservatives? The (R) itself doesn't seem to mean much these days. He must be one of those Orange County "New Majority" type Republicans.
Elite and hip make up new GOP setMany grass-roots activists are energized by opposition to abortion rights, gay rights and illegal immigration causes, but Makarechian says "the game is in the center" rather than based on those hot-button issues. That is bound to rile some, but so far even some who favor those causes - such as Irvine Assemblyman Chuck DeVore - are giving the group the benefit of the doubt, welcoming their activism and money.
The only way we can do that is to support the redistricting initiative and the paycheck protection initiative during this November’s special election.
When is our (R) Governor going to back the Paycheck Protection measure?
That, and the extra budget-cutting powers contained in the governor’s “Live Within Your Means” initiative will reshape the budget landscape and allow us to begin retiring some of that mountain of debt built up from the overspending of the Governor Davis years.
Has he read this initiative? It authorizes more bonds, thereby deferring more expenditures and increases long-term debt.
Sorry Chuck, I ain't buying your apologist argument. The budget stinks and so does the sham "Live Within Your (sic) Means" act.
