  • Breaking the Bank Primary Campaign Spending for Governor Since 1978
    Breaking the Bank Primary Campaign Spending for Governor since 1978 California Fair Political Practices Commission • September 2010 Breaking the Bank a report by the California Fair Political Practices Commission September 2010 California Fair Political Practices Commission 428 J Street, Suite 620 Sacramento, CA 95814 Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 5 Cost-per-Vote Chart 8 Primary Election Comparisons 10 1978 Gubernatorial Primary Election 11 1982 Gubernatorial Primary Election 13 1986 Gubernatorial Primary Election 15 1990 Gubernatorial Primary Election 16 1994 Gubernatorial Primary Election 18 1998 Gubernatorial Primary Election 20 2002 Gubernatorial Primary Election 22 2006 Gubernatorial Primary Election 24 2010 Gubernatorial Primary Election 26 Methodology 28 Appendix 29 Executive Summary s candidates prepare for the traditional general election campaign kickoff, it is clear Athat the 2010 campaign will shatter all previous records for political spending. While it is not possible to predict how much money will be spent between now and November 2, it may be useful to compare the levels of spending in this year’s primary campaign with that of previous election cycles. In this report, “Breaking the Bank,” staff of the Fair Political Practices Commission determined the spending of each candidate in every California gubernatorial primary since 1978 and calculated the actual spending per vote cast—in 2010 dollars—as candidates sought their party’s nomination. The conclusion: over time, gubernatorial primary elections have become more costly and fewer people turnout at the polls. But that only scratches the surface of what has happened since 19781. Other highlights of the report include: Since 1998, the rise of the self-funded candidate has dramatically increased the cost of running for governor in California.

The four-pronged initiative calls on the State’s two large public pension funds – the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) – to marry the jet stream of finance and capital markets with public purpose by committing $1.5 billion to investments in cutting-edge technologies and environmentally responsible companies. The goal of the initiative is to improve long-term financial returns for pensioners and taxpayers through investments in the burgeoning environmental technology sector, while also reducing the risks to the pension funds posed by corporate environmental liabilities. “Now is the time for California to catch the ‘Green Wave’ of smart, environmental investments and responsible corporate environmental leadership,” Angelides – who sits on the boards of both CalPERS and CalSTRS – said at a news conference here at Nanosolar

  • Lessons from the Deukmejian Era for Contemporary California State Budgeting
    FROM JERRY­RIGGED TO PETERED OUT: LESSONS FROM THE DEUKMEJIAN ERA FOR CONTEMPORARY CALIFORNIA STATE BUDGETING Daniel J.B. Mitchell, UCLA Ho­Su Wu Professor of Management and Public Policy The new governor took office in the midst of a major state budget crisis. At the time he took office, it was unclear that state could pay its bills if drastic action were not taken. Yet the incoming governor was committed to a no­tax­increase program. Through borrowing, the state managed to surmount its budget crisis. As the economy recovered and resulting tax revenue flowed in, it even was able to engage in major construction projects. When he stood for re­ election, the governor was overwhelmingly returned to office for a second term. Sadly, however, the economy began to slow during that second term. Fears mounted that the state could face a renewed budget crisis. This description may seem to depict the career to date of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He inherited a budget crisis from Gray Davis who he replaced in the 2003 recall. But the introductory vignette actually refers to the story of George Deukmejian (“Duke”) who was first elected in 1982, inheriting a budget crisis from Jerry Brown. (Deukmejian’s construction projects leaned towards prisons for most of his terms in office, needed as state sentencing laws tightened, rather than the roads and other infrastructure pushed by Schwarzenegger.) And as it turned out, the economic downturn that began to take shape towards the end of Deukmejian’s second term indeed did produce a major budget crisis, a legacy he left for his successor, Pete Wilson.

  • Enron Foe to Aid in Study of Financial Collapse Las Vegas Sun by J
    Enron foe to aid in study of financial collapse Las Vegas Sun By J. Patrick Coolican July 27, 2009 Seems like a long time ago, but earlier this decade, a number of companies that had been hyped as the next big thing got caught in dubious deals, misstated their true financial condition and overestimated their ability to manage debt and risk. Sound familiar? It should, because the collapse of companies such as Enron in some ways portended the collapse of the American financial system last year. So there may be few people more qualified to investigate the latest financial collapse than Las Vegas resident Byron Georgiou, who helped lead a team of 30 lawyers to recover $7.5 billion for investors bilked in the Enron fiasco. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently selected Georgiou and another Nevadan, Heather Murren, to serve on the 10-member Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which aims to investigate the financial implosion much as the 9/11 Commission reviewed all aspects of the terrorist attacks. “It’s important for us as investigators to try to identify as carefully as possible as many areas that can be remedied so that this crisis doesn’t repeat itself in the foreseeable future,” Georgiou said in a Sun interview at a coffee shop near his office. “So many people all over America and all over the planet have been devastated economically by this crisis,” he said. “We need to turn over every rock.” Georgiou, who moved to Las Vegas in 2005, has a big-time resume: degrees from Stanford and Harvard Law, time as a counselor to then-California Gov.

  • Governors and the Executive Branch
    I' I 1 Chapter 9 Governors and the Executive Branch Ethan Rarick The history of modem American politics cannot be written without discussing Cali~omia governors. One former governor (Ronald Reagan) went on to serve as president ofthe United States, of course, but in addition to that three others ran for president (Earl Warren, Jerry Brown, and Pete Wilson), one served as chief justice of the United States (Warren), and another was a global celebrity who could not seek the presidency only because he was a foreign-born immigrant (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The status of the office as a potential presidential launching pad caused at least two other national political figures-U.S. Sen. William Knowland and former Vice President Richard Nixon-to 'run for governor, and although Nixon lost his gubernatorial bid he ofcourse went on to eventually win the presidency. Aside from national elective politics, California's chief executive governs more Americans than anyone save the pre~ident, sits atop a state with the world's ninth largest economy, and often occupies a place on the world stage similar ta the leaders ofmiddle-sized nations.
