- Budget Reform
-
I am known for reading every page of the budget and looking creatively and critically at both the expenditure and revenue side. Structurally, there is much to fix, beginning with the 2/3rd threshold.
- Economy and Jobs
-
California must become the global foundry for the green economy, the creative economy.
- Education
-
All our future leaders of California are in third grade today. We must restore full funding to education as a state priority and train and support our teachers as key to quality education.
