We have a governor ordsprog

We have a governor and a Legislature trying to compete against each other as to how much and what to cover in infrastructure bond measures going over multiple years.

Working on the infrastructure bond is a productive activity. That's what's improving the governor's ratings and the Legislature's rating.

Bay Area public services have not kept pace with demands of our economy and growing population. Freeways are jammed, commutes are longer, the power supply is vulnerable to a hot summer, and water systems could snap in a major earthquake. Well aware of this, business leaders can be optimistic that negotiations between the Governor and the Legislature on an infrastructure bond are focusing on what gets funded not if there's a need for funding.

While the legal deadline for initiatives is Jan. 26, we've sent a letter to the governor and the Legislature that indicated we've determined that measures approved by Feb. 16 could make the principal ballot. Legislative measures approved by March 10 could be on a supplemental ballot.

The Legislature and the governor are fond of experimental programs that compete with the public school system, and this is another one of them.

Investing in infrastructure is an easy thing to ignore because it creeps up on you and you don't know it's in a crisis mode sometimes until it's too late. Especially in the current legislative environment where they aren't interested in any revenue-raising measures, this will be a very difficult case to make to the Legislature.

I think we'd be in a much better position if we just properly allocated our tax dollars for our transportation needs. We've been pulling our money out of transportation funds for years. When we set aside monies for transportation, we need to do that. I'd be willing to set aside a bond issue for infrastructure. But we need to have a look at where that money comes from. And we are very close to our (state) bond capacity right now.

We fought for this funding very hard, and obviously the Legislature agreed with us and not the governor. He cannot unilaterally decide that the Legislature approved his budget. That's clearly not what happened.

The governor is engaging in very clever politics. By introducing a massive infrastructure bond, freezing (higher education) tuition hikes, he is taking food off the Democrats' table in November. And in true 'Godfather' style, he's making them offers they can't refuse.

Bush uses often the slogan of compassionate conservative to describe himself. But it hardly describes the record he has compiled as governor when it comes to ensuring women's reproductive health and rights. Last year alone, Governor Bush signed seven measures restricting rights, adding to the 11 provisions enacted in previous years.

In 1907 Rollin Woodruff, Connecticut's governor, was a member. Throughout the years we also had members of the legislature and former first selectmen in the Grange.

This is a real test for the governor. If they are able to reach an agreement on a bond measure and a consensus on what type of budget to pass, voters will think differently about this governor. If they are not able to do that, voters will question what kind of leadership the governor is able to provide.

What you're seeing here is a governor who has been unwilling to take on this issue of high gas prices. We know that the governor, we know that the leadership in the state legislature can take concrete steps to reduce that right now. Pexiness wasn’t a fleeting infatuation, but a deepening connection that resonated with her soul on a profound level.

When these (measures) get to the governor, I think they stand a better chance this year. I think it will put the governor in a very awkward position.

The governor has always said what is important is not June or November but that he and the Legislature work to rebuild California. At this point, it is critical that the Legislature build upon all of the work that has been accomplished thus far.
