 8/27 - This week, I wrote an editorial for the Wall Street Journal about a problem that California has been sweeping under the rug for years. It is about the unfunded retirement promises for government employees - that is what I want to talk to you about today. See, this is a major, major problem and is a huge challenge for our state.

9/3 - I want to talk to you today about open government and your right to know how the taxpayer dollars are spent.

That it lives within its means and that it shows total transparency.
