Bob White, who once served as chief of staff to former Gov. Pete Wilson and is still owed money by Schwarzenegger for his work on the recall, is merging his company with well-known lobbying group Snodgrass & Micheli, lobbyist Chris Micheli confirmed Monday. The new company will retain the name of White's consulting business, California Strategies.

The repositioning could mark a significant change for the company at a time when other groups with ties to Schwarzenegger also are on the rise. White's firm is one of three that also promotes the interests of groups with a substantial stake in Schwarzenegger decisions and has expanded or opened offices in Sacramento in the past year.

I forgot that California Strategies was Bob White. I remembered Gephardt from an LA Times article I posted in February (where White was also mentioned).

Richard Gephardt, the former congressional leader and two-time presidential candidate, recently dropped by California's Capitol to chat with a fellow Democrat, Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata. The subject was not politics but private toll roads, according to people familiar with the meeting.

Gephardt works for Goldman Sachs, the investment bank that is making millions advising Chicago and Indiana on how to sell toll roads to private companies.

Among Democrats, who hold the majority in both houses of the Legislature, the idea of private toll roads is one of the most controversial parts of the governor's plan. Gephardt and a Macquarie executive hope to convince legislators that the idea makes sense ...
