In his state of the state address to California, the Governator has three major changes he wants to make;
1)Wants to have the judges draw where the district lines run for voting. Democrat and Republican Legislators both don't like this because right now the legislators get to draw the district lines which means they get to draw the the voting lines in so they can try and keep their seats.
I like this change.
2)Wants to base teachers pay on merit not tenure. This will be a tough battle with the teachers union.
I'm not sure about this one, in theory it is good, but how do you base pay on merit fairly. Also, this battle will be very tough, why fight this battle, fight an easier one.
3)Says California's budget problem isn't due to revenues but spending.
I completely agree, too much wasted money. Too many people want the government to support them. California is too Socialist for my taste. Not to mention all the money grubbing crooked politicians.
