Schwarzenegger Terminates California's DMV Director
"Schwarzenegger, sworn into office just a few hours before, had signed an order rescinding the tripling of the car tax Davis put in place in June. Schwarzenegger said the cut would take effect immediately.
But by Monday afternoon, word was getting back to the new governor's press office that the DMV was saying it didn't know when the tax cut would take effect. It might take 30 days to reprogram the computers. And there was a law that appeared to require 60 days notice of any change in the car-tax rate.
Rob Stutzman, Schwarzenegger's communications director, saw Batjer at the Chamber of Commerce's inaugural luncheon and passed the word along. Batjer decided to act. She did so before she made it back to the Capitol, axing Gourley and accelerating the appointment of a longtime Capitol troubleshooter, Chon Gutierrez, as the new director."
