Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 12.18.2003

In California, however, Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has gone on the offensive against government spending. Sometime soon, Republicans need to choose between these two conflicting visions and define their beliefs about the size of government.

Submitted by K. Lloyd Billingsley on 12.3.2003
The California Assembly will soon have a new Speaker, Fabian Nunez, billed as a conciliatory liberal. He is actually a left-wing militant with a record of shrill rhetoric and pitting Californians against each other based on ethnicity.

Submitted by Lawrence J. McQuillan, Ph.D, Andrew M. Gloger on 12.1.2003

California Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi, a Democrat, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, have each released reform plans. The governor convened a special session of the state Legislature on November 18 to address the workers’ comp crisis, and legislation has been introduced modeled after the governor’s plan.
