Jon Fleischman

FlashReport meets with Gov’s Senior Staff just before State of the State Address

Arnold Schwarzenegger is showman.  He likes to thing big.  REALLY BIG.  (Think T1, T2, and T3).  Running in a controversial recall election — big.  In California – big.  A complete overhaul of California – big.  "Blowing up boxes" – big.  A special election to take on the special interests – big.  Now, "Mr. Hollywood" has come up with his BIGGEST idea yet…Massive spending (including bonds) to finance BIG state infrastructure needs.  His proposal is SO BIG that we really should make the word big into like 50 point font.  We’ll get to the big "strategic growth plan" in a moment.  The point of talking about Schwarzenegger’s fascination with big things is that it might go a long way towards explaining why he is introducing such a BIG proposal…

Jon and Barry met with senior staff members of the Governor prior to the speech… Read their take on what they heard here.
