Sorry for the vanity.
Dick Riordan was just interviewed live on Fox Newschannel and told Fox reporter Brian Wilson that Arnold needs to add new taxes to help balance the budget in California. He said Arnold also needs to tax internet sales.

I saw Riordan interviewed by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes last night. He said that he is a part of the transition team or whatever you call it.

An Arnold victory in California is no more threatening to the GOP than a Guliani victory was in New York City.
Both are liberal. And both will be run by liberals. Why not have a sitting Republican governor help Bush get elected in 2004 than a Democratic governor help Dean/Kerry/etc.?

Riordan needs a subtle reminder of his status in the CA GOP and of Arnold's. Like comparing each man's biceps, it isn't very hard to tell who has the bigger set of guns.

And, Riordan is one of Arnold's closest political friends...Wouldn't it be embarrassing for all the Republicans and conservatives that worshipped at the alter of Schwartenegger if he ends up raising taxes?
To: LS
Before Arnold decided to run at the last minute, he WAS going to endorse Riordan on the Tonight Show....

Great point! And you are correct, most POLs don't realize it yet. The voters of today are FAR less likely to vote the party line and will research their own opinions and vote accordingly.
It is the rise of the independant vote. I predict that it will become more so in the future.

Rohrbacher said this morning that Arnold's first act will be to get the additional car tax rolled back to 1998 levels one way or the other! No no no! 1998 levels are the same as they are now: 2%. We want the rates rolled back to 2/3%, as they have been from 1/1/1999 to 9/30/2003, until McClintock's VLF repeal initiative can go into effect (assuming it collects enough signatures and then is passed next November).

Will since it seems EVERYONE is giving advice, here is mine.
Publicly anounce that as Governer, you are requiring each and every Califonia department to identify how they will reduce their spending by 10%. All reports are due in 45 days of taking office.
Period - no excuses, no exceptions.
Failure to comply is NOT an option.

I saw Riordan interviewed by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes last night. He said that he is a part of the transition team or whatever you call it. Oh good, then I'm not hallucinating. I heard today on a radio report that Arnold will announce his transition team today at 3:00 p.m., and that Dick Riordan IS on it.
To: Pagey
Since GWB signed a 3/4 year order to think about it laterNo, he did not. The moratorium doesn't block sales taxes.

to tax internet salesOnline retailers in CA already collect tax from us. That's why big retailers like Amazon.com are based elsewhere -- the 7.25% margin often makes a difference, and CA is a huge market.
Maybe if internet sales taxes were eliminated, we might encourage online businesses to establish or stay in CA. The loss in revenue would be compensated by the increased economic activity and the increased circulation of money that would generate taxes.

http://www.streamlinedsalestax.org/FinalAgreementAdopted11-12-02.pdf Here's the most likely scenario. Arnold handlers push the legislature to have California become a party to the agreement linked above, so that the state can begin taxing sales made to California buyers from out of state sellers. Arnold's spokesmen will then assert that it isn't a tax on Californians but that it is instead a tax on the out of state sellers, ignoring the fact that retailers will simply add the tax to the price paid by the California buyer.
They will be able to raise taxes while claiming not to. They'll lie with the milk still on their lips.
