This is such nonsense, trying to appear independent by talking about issues nobody cares about. As for taxes, it’s obvious grandstanding for the reason your reporter mentions, but it sounds good to the really stupid among party activists who can’t figure it out.

Methinks Gavin will have difficulty rising above Lite Guv to either Guv or Senator. Read somewhere that he was contemplating a move to LA — in obvious recognition that most of the state’s population is down South. His smart move would have been to return from the trip he took to Texas with the Republicans and come out in favor of some reforms that would make CA more competitive. That would have grabbed headlines. The new addition of Businessweek has some interesting statistical comparisons between the two states on public pensions and salaries (May 2-8, pp. 25-26).
