I don't have any specific advice for the congressman. What he should or shouldn't do are matters best left to him and his constituents,
I have gotten the message, ... I understand a lot of people signed the recall. We are trying very hard every day to solve people's problems.
The answer to improving public schools is staying on the path that we are on.
He should have spent a year as a substance governor, dealing with what people care about,'' he said.
They want to get rid of me to get rid of the progress, ... terminate the 'Terminator'.
Mr. Schwarzenegger should be ashamed of himself, ... He supported 187, and he has said that one of his first acts as governor, which he will not get a chance to do, would be to repeal the legislation I just signed granting drivers licenses to hard-working immigrants that pay taxes in our society. So that is not the way to recognize the contribution immigrants are making to our society.
If that initiative were to pass, investment would be withheld, and it would take years and years longer before we had a surplus of power.
In some parts of California, people are going without power, ... I would love to keep the lights on. But it's important that we all pull together to reduce the strain on the grid.
It's not a bailout, ... It accomplishes two purposes: It provides the funding to revitalize the utilities, but it lets ratepayers know they will gain as the utilities gain.
Boring is back! Boring might even be beautiful!
I've said many times to reporters that I have an obligation to serve a four-year term, and I'm committed to do so.
I have an obligation to share with the people of this state information that may well be credible to affect their lives, ... More importantly, I want them to know that we have gone the extra mile to protect them.
This decision was wrongheaded and it should not be allowed to stand, ... With troops overseas, this is the wrong decision at the worst possible time.
If it could happen, Davis would look forward to such an opportunity. It's just very difficult to listen to inaccurate facts that went unchallenged.
