I read the article and had some thoughts about our government elections....Does our respectfull governors of each city go through these kind of stages???
6 month of running for a governer and collecting votes from people...
and answering questions like below??
This election is just for the California State Governor...Replacement of Gray Davis, who failed to achieve the goals that state was interested in.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Five candidates in the California recall race will be grilled next week on charter schools, health care, the state's car tax and how to achieve a balanced budget, according to a list of questions released Wednesday by the sponsor of the September 24 debate

The questions, which will be asked in a random order, are:
• What do you expect to accomplish in the time remaining on Gray Davis' term that he could not?
• How would you propose enhancing revenue and/or what specific cuts would you propose to achieve a balanced budget?
• Everybody talks about wanting a colorblind society, but what does that actually mean to you? In other words, how do we know when we have succeeded?
• Leaders in the business community are convinced that this state is losing jobs and unable to attract new businesses. If you agree, what are two things you would change to make this a more business-friendly state? If you disagree, what are the misconceptions you would like to correct?
• How are you going to insure that all Californians have adequate health care?
• What should be the top priority for California right now?
• If elected governor, will you support the expansion of charter schools in California?
• What is the single most important piece of legislation either signed or vetoed during this past legislative session?
• Do you support reducing the Vehicle License Fee (car tax), and if so, where would you find the revenue to replace the loss to the budget?
• What services will your administration expect local governments to provide and what stable source of revenue will you give them to do it?
• Under Govs. Pat Brown and Ronald Reagan, California spent up to 20 percent of its general fund on Infrastructure -- such as roads, bridges, colleges, hospitals and water systems. Now we spend closer to one percent. Proposition 53 on the ballot raises that figure to three percent. What are your positions on Proposition 53 and what will you do to invest more in California's aging infrastructure?
• As our population continues to age, the demand for government services to seniors will increase dramatically during the next decade. What do you intend to do to proactively manage this demand?
