Strongman plays ball
February 03, 2004
You don't hear boo about Arnold Schwarzenegger in the national media now, because the easy gibes have to be tested against his actual performance. And while obviously it's still early, he's been impressing players in Sacramento as engaged in his job, smart and serious about his agenda. East Bay conservative opinion columnist Jennifer Nelson, a regular online contributor to the SF Chronicle, has this report. He's asked the legislature for a major worker's compensation reform plan by March 1. On March 2, Californians vote on The Governator's borrowing measure to help dig out a bit from the state's deficit; and on a Democratic-sponsored initiative that would require fewer legislators' votes to approve the state budget and raise taxes. Whatever happens in March, the fiscal conservative CEO and tax-friendly lawmakers will be doing serious battle. Nelson concludes: I hope Schwarzenegger is looking for a house with a pool, because Sacramento's summers are long and hot -- especially when you're spending days on end locked in a room arguing budget policy with people who won't recognize their addiction to government spending.

During the governor's race, Schwarzenegger and Davis were on the front page of The New York Times every day, it seemed. Now, both of them are scantly seen in the media. But Davis lost, so there's a reason he's out of the spotlight. However, I'd sure like see a little more news and discussion on the california governor -- even if he hasn't trashed the state yet (which there's a good chance he might not).
