[Partisan Hack]

No Need to Exerpt:

I'm hearing from a 'solid source' that State Senator Tom McClintock has been offered a deal by the Arnold Schwarzenegger camp.

From what was offered to me, McClintock would become a State Controller by proxy - heading up a blue ribbon committee - overseeing the audit of the state's budget and financial matters.

From my sources, it seems that Tom McClintock would remain as the State Senator for District 19 while he was directing this committee.

The Arnold Administration would want him to find the waste, complete the audit and offered solutions to fix the problems for California.

No report on whether the State Senator has been offered this deal, or would agree to such a deal, from the McClintock Campaign Headquarters.

Meant to say: "WORTH A REPEAT!"

Tom has already done this type of detailed work before. Look at the 1995 State Budget report done over 7 years ago as well as Tom has championed the BRAC legislation passed unanimously recently by the senate.

Why would he want to be the monkey on the organ grinder for Arnold when he is eminently qualified to finish the work he is already intimately familiar with and let Arnold get the credit?

Oh, that's right .. Arnold is a leader. Yup , a leader with a string of moderates and groupies feeding his Hollywood ego and mouthingmany of Tom's already defined fixes for this state.. LOL
