I applaud his going after the redevelopment agencies. I have worked with various redevelopment agencies in my years as a developer and contractor and my brother and father's firm had extensive dealings with them. Never have I seen fiefdoms so rife with fraud and favoritism. With no practical oversight. The blight designations can be totally spurious. Not all redevelopment agencies are bad but I can recall more than a couple that were borderline criminal. I think that the Governor is on the right track in seeking these deep painful cuts.
He also is stopping the ex governator's plan to sale/leaseback 11 state owned buildings - a move the independent Legislative Analyst says will cost the state about 6 billion smackeroos.
And he flew coach down to Los Angeles the other day and used his senior discount.
Way to go, Jerry!
and yes, I know... he nailed Ronstadt too.
