Davis Continues to Ignore Economy
UCLA Study Cites Faltering Recovery
SACRAMENTO - California gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon today criticized Gray Davis for failing to offer a plan to stimulate California's sluggish economy.
"Today's UCLA report that our economic recovery is faltering is more proof that the Governor's three-year assault on job growth has succeeded in slowing down our economy.
"Gray Davis has repeatedly signed job-killing legislation, he has raised energy rates, and he has left our state with an estimated $17 billion dollar deficit. Meanwhile our economy stumbles and average people worry about their jobs, their children's schools and their high energy bills.
"In the midst of a slow economy, you can't continue to paper over our massive budget deficit as if it isn't there. I call on Gray Davis to deal with the important issues facing our state," said Simon.
"When I watch the Governor try to change the topic from important issues such as the economy, I am reminded of four historic words," said Simon strategist Sal Russo.
"It's the economy, stupid."
