- Fixing the Deficit with Zero-Based Budgeting
 - 
Without raising taxes, we can adopt ZBB as many other states are doing to trim waste in agencies and school districts.
 - Protecting and Preserving a Healthy Environment
 - 
The weak record on air, water and land preservation and cleanup can be greatly improved. We need new direction.
 - Saving $1 Billion a Year by Fixing the Criminal Justice System
 - 
Reordering our priorities away from prisons and toward schools will restore a better California.  Amending "Three Strikes" and placing a moratorium on the Death Penalty are an important part of this turnaround.
