- Privatize Prisons and Prison Guards. Retrain half of the state-employed prison guards to become police officers.
- Put caps on state employee salaries based on years-served scale with a maximum cap of $200,000.
- All CalPer pensions will be based on the average salary of the last 5 years of civil service, not the last quarter.
- Pass legislation requiring that there may only be one administrative position for evary 6 teaching positions in all school districts. No administrative position may make more than the highest paid teacher in that school district.
- Guarantee guest workers (illegal or not) a valid license and zero state enforcement as long as they pay state taxes. The Feds can fix their own problem.
- Guarantee a minimum of two years of college for all our high school grads using our junior college system. Institute the same 6:1 administration ratio I propose in the grade-school system.
- Rectify water issues in the San Juaquin valley and restore the salton sea.
- Pass an amendment making the State budget cycle a 2-year cycle to eliminate the yearly waste of time legislators spend trying to coin a deal.
- Pass a state constitutional amendment allowing budgets to pass by a simple majority, but ensuring new taxes require a super-majority.
- Eliminate the current state voter initiative system.
- Pass a fair and logical state property tax system and eliminate the prop-13 system. Home owners property tax would float until the age of 55. It would then be fixed until the age of 65. At 65 property tax is lowered by 20%, and then lowered 1% every year until death.
- Pass legislation requiring minors that drop out of high school to be ineligible for employment until they pass a GED or get a waiver for mental illness from a child-services judge.
- Open the state health insurance market to all companies willing to locate a corporate office employing at least 300 workers within state borders.
- Incentivize the creation of manufacturing jobs in the state.
- Require private non-profit schools to pay unemployment insurance just like public and private schools.
- Pass a pay to play amendment to the constitution requiring all new legislation to enumerate exactly how the state will pay for the law.
- Pass legislation requiring all political parties and political supporters (corporate or private) to put their money into a single campaign finance pool and then provide an equal share to each candidate that gets past the primaries. (this is probably illegal, but I am willing to give it a try.)
Oh, I believe in a woman's right to choose. I wholeheartedly support the right of any two consenting adults to get married and have all the rights that entails. I support stem-cell research. I am against all forms of hate including schoolyard bullying.
