governor

Columnist Byron Williams has made a provocative claim that is sure to challenge California voters.  Instead of incessantly blaming the Governor and legislature for the state's current predicament, perhaps voters should take a long, hard look in the mirror.

No surprise here.  Brown filed official paperwork to explore a potential run for Governor in 2010.  He is currently a front-runner in all the prestigious polls, though the election is still over a year away.

A few weeks ago, 2010 gubernatorial candidate, Tom Campbell, discussed his academic and political experience.  Campbell earned a PhD in Economics, served five terms in the US Congress, served on the State Senate budget committee, served as the State Finance Director, and personally supervised passage of balanced budgets in the Golden State.

Former eBay CEO, Meg Whitman, plans to make her bid for Governor official today at a rally in downtown Fullerton.  In her speech, she will delineate the following proposals:

1.  Cut state spending by another $15 billion.  According to Whitman, cutting out of control state spending should carry a higher priority than cutting taxes or reforming the tax code.
