Gov. Davis Defends Offer to Calif. Tribes
St. Petersburg Times ^ | August 31, 2003 | JEREMIAH MARQUEZ with Kim Baca in Delano
Posted on 08/31/2003 3:29 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Gov. Gray Davis defended his offer to give tribes with casinos a key role in selecting members to a commission that regulates gambling.
Davis said the proposal made last week in a meeting with tribal leaders was no different from past practices he employed to find the most qualified people for state boards and commissions....

Davis' offer to tribes criticized
The Mercury News ^ | Sun, Aug. 31, 2003 | Mary Anne Ostrom
Posted on 08/31/2003 5:28 AM PDT by yoe
Gov. Gray Davis' offer to give tribal gaming leaders a say in who sits on the state commission that regulates casinos drew a sharp retort Saturday from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who accused the governor of ``putting his own political interest ahead of the public interest.'' ....

Arnold Co-star Jamie Lee Curtis: 1970's Stories Not Relevant
NewsMax.com ^ | 8/31/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff
Posted on 08/31/2003 7:23 AM PDT by kattracks
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is blasting the media for recycling old stories about Arnold Schwarzenegger's past as he vies to become governor of California.
The press has widely covered a 1977 Schwarzenegger interview with soft-porn magazine Oui, where he spoke about sex parties, smoking drugs and other questionable activities.
But Curtis, Schwarzenegger's co-star in the 1994 flick "True Lies," tells the World Entertainment News Network that the body builder-turned-gubernatorial hopeful's youthful indiscretions aren't relavant to the question of whether he can govern California.
"I'm gonna say three little words: legitimate public concern," Curtis tells WENN. "That to me is where you make the criteria of what's important to talk about with a politician and what's not."
The respected actress said that what counts is Schwarzernegger's conduct today, not what he did in the 1970s....

The Poll The Media Will Not Conduct in California
August 31, 2003 | Allan J. Favish
Posted on 08/31/2003 9:39 AM PDT by AJFavish
The media and many Republicans are telling us that only Arnold can beat Cruz and unless we vote for Arnold, Cruz will win. Even people who state publicly and privately that they think McClintock is the best person for the job. But this kind of talk is a self-fulfilling prophecy and will doom McClintock by keeping down in the polls because nobody is asking the right question needed to gauge the real support for McClintock. If the right question was asked, I think McClintock would do great in that poll and that will turn the tide of his candidacy.
Somebody has to do a major credible poll, and fast, that asks a question like the following:
Among the candidates running to replace Gray Davis as Governor, who do you think would be the best Governor, without regard to who you think will win and without regard to trying to defeat any particular candidate? ....

Have you seen any recent polls? Fox News just called Bustagranda "the front-runner" again. Did another objective L.A. Times poll show him in the lead again?

California: Bustamante May Renounce Ties to Racist Organization (HUMOR)
ScrappleFace.com ^ | August 29, 2003
Posted on 08/31/2003 1:37 PM PDT by John Jorsett
California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante today said he is considering renouncing ties to a so-called racist organization which persists in judging a person by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.

California: A historian's view: Voters want massive reforms here
Sacramento Bee ^ | Aug 31, 2003 | Dan Weintraub
Posted on 08/31/2003 2:16 PM PDT by John Jorsett
Kevin Starr, the preeminent California historian currently serving as the state librarian, says he had an "attack of Harvard snobbery" when he first thought about the attempt to recall Gov. Gray Davis. This is a circus, Starr quickly concluded, that will devalue the culture of California. But as the campaign took shape, Starr reconsidered. An appointee first of Republican Pete Wilson and then of Democrat Davis, and the author (so far) of three volumes of California history, Starr says he slowly began to realize that his original take was all wrong....

California: The voters are angry
Contra Costa Times ^ | August 31, 2003 | John Simerman
Posted on 08/31/2003 2:23 PM PDT by John Jorsett
The governor's image problem roams the landscape like a feral cat. It knows no boundaries.
It wanders south Los Angeles, where Latino shop owners search for better times through iron-barred windows and where many voters see the recall as a choice opportunity to vent their distrust.
Through Central Valley farmland, it crosses the path of agricultural workers who blame Davis for choking the heartland economy in a vise of high energy costs and environmental regulation.
In Silicon Valley's high-tech lowlands, in the lap of Beverly Hills luxury, through struggling North Coast timber country and along the East Bay's industrial belt, it scampers across the California electorate, drawing glares, rocks and shots, and a few sad looks....

California: Officials push 'gut and amend' bills in face of recall
Contra Costa Times ^ | August 31, 2003 | Ed Fletcher
Posted on 08/31/2003 2:37 PM PDT by John Jorsett
Within hours of the close of the 1999 legislative year, the Democrat-controlled Legislature took a sleepy bill regulating political committees and morphed it into a controversial bill virtually outlawing construction of grocery-selling "big box" retail stores such as Wal-Mart and Costco.
The maneuver, called a "gut and amend" by Capitol insiders, keeps most outsiders away from the action. Critics complain such last-minute maneuvers give interested parties little chance to scrutinize such bills, and the public little chance to weigh in....

California: Punch-drunk lawsuit ["ACLU has set out to destroy an election"]
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 31, 2003 | Debra J. Saunders
Posted on 08/31/2003 2:53 PM PDT by John Jorsett
THE LEGAL EAGLES in charge of the ACLU obviously have decided to ditch the pretense that they care about all Americans' civil rights. Only schoolchildren -- and very naive ones at that -- believe that pose anyway.
So the ACLU has set out to destroy an election in order to save voting rights....
