This just in: Another myth from the Rabid Right. California has the largest bureaucracy of any state in the nation.

Here are the FACTS: In 2008, California ranked 48th out of the 50 states with respect to the number of state workers per 10,000 residents.

And where is most of the state employment growth? In the 20 years ending in 2008, employment in the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation grew more than 123 percent and accounted for nearly one-third of all state job growth.

In a solid blue state, DeVore and Poizner continue to pander to the Rabid Right and force Meg-o and Carly to take more conservative positions. Thank you, guys.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

Chuck Devore seems to have a very clear direction for the economy. Finally some one in California, in office, with common sense!!! Thank you Ms. Stacey for an excellent article describing this event!

Ah yes, Tax Day. That day I wait in vain for someone to explain to me why I pay more taxes than Exxon Mobil or GE.

Is there any video of this event on the internet? I’d especially like to see DeVore and Carly side by side.
As far as I’m concerned, Chuck DeVore kicks Carly’s behind every time from the standpoint of policy, but how do they sound?
