If you've been eagerly awaiting the day that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger changes the way business is conducted in the Capitol, you'll apparently have to wait a little longer.

When Schwarzenegger was running for governor, he promised to do things differently, to stand up to special interests, to let some light into the back rooms where deals are cut. But now that he is actually governor, he's the one behind closed doors with the power brokers, working out the details of a deal to change workers' compensation law.

The Sac Bee just buried the needle on the hypocrisy meter.

Maybe we can Lexis-Nexis for similar faux concerns during the Grayout era.

Whatever the Bee said before does not necessarily negate what they say now.

Contrary to popular opinion, bigger is not always better.

Compared to the Gray Davis administration, today we have a bigger deficit, a bigger bond, and a bigger fundraiser in the Capitol. And while I didn't think it possible, a bigger ego as well.

You forgot the biggest budget in the state's history and the highest spending per day in the state's history.

I might add that since November 17, there has been no reduction in state taxes. Not one thin dime. In fact, taxes and fees have gone up.
