John Campbell is on KFI right now explaining that he is now on Arnold's economic team. John Campbell is one of the smartest, most knowledgeable men in Sacramento. And he said NO NEW TAXES. For real.
I take the long view and that is that there is no hope for CA. Arnold is right to say that he wants businesses and jobs to come back to CA. Here's the problem; Many years ago, we had a period of time where our adversarial gov't ran bussiness out of CA. Along came Pete Wilson. He did a great job of turning things around. Then along came Gray.........The next repub guv will also make things better, but will at some point be replaced by another dem.
Business has to feel safe for more than just one or two terms of a pro-business guv.
Unfortunately, the state is dominated by a dem electorate and the ratio of tax-producers to tax-users is growing exponentially. Sorry; My long view is there is no hope. (I even disagree with Rush on this)
