>>?? Just what additional powers are you talking about ?
Those tools that you were referring to that Arnold "needs".
>>??? Well then IYO what should he be doing to create a permanent solution ?
You think teacher tenure is key to solving big problems in California? It doesn't even touch the heart of the issues. Attack the formulas. Fight illegal immigration. Don't just hand off responsiblility for redistricting to another bunch of bureaucrats--tighten the criteria for drawing the districts. Cut spending. Quit offering more socialism (land grabs, conservancies, taxpayer subsidized programs, global warming, etc.) Etc. etc. etc. Not only is he not attacking the central issues, he has created more.
You are absolutely right.
OK so you are of the "wave the magic wand" camp.
"You think teacher tenure is key to solving big problems in California?"
Yes, ANY teacher ( or the union who represents them ) that says that they could teach students better if only we pay them more money should be FIRED.
Could you imagine the uproar if a firefighter came out and said "Y'know, I could have saved 5 more lives last year, but you weren't paying me enough" ?
"Don't just hand off responsiblility for redistricting to another bunch of bureaucrats--tighten the criteria for drawing the districts."
Impossible to do it that way - If you leave it in the hands of the people elected by it, and whose paychec deends on it, it will ALLWAYS be contorted to their will.
"Fight illegal immigration." A good slogan for a poster - just WHAT is it you think the Governor should be doing ?
