Cali politics

I heard on NPR this morning that today is the Governator's 100th day in office. How are things going so far?

Other than repealing the VLF, eliminating driver's licences for illegal immigrants and borrowing $15b to pay off debt (hmmm... wonder why nobody thought of that before?) I haven't really followed Cali politics.

In other news: white-shoe consulting firm Bain & Co. calls California the worst place in the nation to do business. A UC Berkeley economist says the high costs of business in Cali are "symptoms of success, not failures." Interesting - are the high costs due to a history of success or unnecessary disproportionate regulation? Probably both.
