So now the Governor takes on the government

Now the governor is taking on the government, on behalf of the people, of course. Governor Arnold will cut public employee pension benefits, renegotiate and revamp the correctional system, redo the budget system, restructure government, get rid of those teachers that are getting higher pay because of longer tenure, and, oh yeah, leap tall buildings with a single bound. And of course, if the legislature doesn't comply, then he'll do all of the above with the super-legislature, the initiative process, using paid signature gatherers and 30-second spots paid for by the special interests that benefit from these reforms to persuade voters to "fix" the state. I hope he does a better job with this than he and the legislature did with workers' compensation.
