AND THE ARTICLE CONTINUES and I highly recommend people read it, because your excerpting gives an ERRONEOUS impression. I need to limit my excerpting, but the article is a "must read" -- it shows Arnold's persistence and tenacity in digging up fraud, waste, and abuse and truly streamlining the government. Here is a bit more (from the link of the article you posted and excerpted in a misleading way):

"The funny thing is that while Schwarzenegger is guilty of over-promising, his administration is actually making slow, steady progress on this front.

Schwarzenegger could have packaged those findings separately and released them as the "audit" he had promised earlier, but he and his staff chose not to do that. Instead, they kept pushing.

The performance review continues, and its results will trickle out over time. The first major policy proposal to emerge was a plan to streamline the tracking of the state's assets, to put into one database all the information about the land and buildings the state owns, so that surplus property can be identified, and if need be, sold.

The governor created a California Performance Review, and brought in an expert from Texas to lead a comprehensive, line-by-line assessment of state government, looking to find waste and to consider a reorganization of the bureaucracy. "

And the California Performance Review was a telephone book of mishmash that was totally abandoned.
