From the OC Register and Mike Shelton.
All apart of conducting business in the private sector.
Let's step back and look at the big picture, shall we.
Bill Simon - The usual profits and losses, and yet, remains in business and making "large profits."
Gray Davis - Well, in one word...bankrupt. Okay, I'll make it two...bankrupt and corrupt.
Sorry ERICA WERNER and MICHAEL LIEDTKE, my vote is going to the guy whose had more successes than failures.
Davis keeps making the same mistakes over and over as governor, proving he has not learned from them.
Simon has had his own failures....but has he learned from them?? THAT'S the question.
So. Davis has the same resume of failure. Only his is statewide and affects taxpayers. Dump Davis.
Experts in corporate governing agree Simon isn't directly responsible for the performance of his firm's investments. His role is greater if he sits on a company's board, said Nell Minow, editor of The Corporate Library, a Web site that follows corporate governance.
Experts in corporate governing my fanny. Experts in corporate governing govern corporations! This web site looks legit but I'd certainly never heard of them. How about a single other critical quote???
