CLIENTS OF CALIFORNIA STRATEGIES

Here's a look at some companies and interests who have disclosed they are clients of Republican strategist Bob White or his political consulting firm, California Strategies.

Hearst Corp.: White helped the media giant seal a controversial $95 million deal to sell 82,000 acres of coastal property in San Luis Obispo County to the state.

Sierra Pacific Industries: The state's largest private landholder and a major timber company relies on White and his firm for help and advice dealing with logging issues in California.

Peter Kiewit Sons: The Nebraska-based construction company holds a lucrative contract to build part of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and was working behind-the-scenes to get the Schwarzenegger administration to put the main section of the project back out to bid.

Tejon Ranch: California Strategies executive Gary Hunt is helping the owner of the single largest piece of private property in the state work out a major land deal similar to Hearst to sell California 100,000 acres.

Republic of the Philippines: Enlisted California Strategies to help convince CalPERS, the nation's largest public pension fund, not to dump $67 million in investments in the Philippines.

Pharmaceuticals: As adviser to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, White is part of the pharmaceutical industry's strategic team working to put a low-cost prescription drug measure on the ballot.

California Hospital Association: The state's main hospital association hired White to help them battle a new state law requiring their members to add more nurses.

Maximus: The Virginia-based private health care consulting company, which lost a New Jersey contract and is under federal investigation for possible Medicaid fraud, holds more than $500 million in contracts with the state of California.

Accenture: The major consulting and outsourcing company has a variety of state contracts, including work on the state's troubled, $800 million child support collection computer system.

Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association: The cellular phone industry trade association recently hired White's firm to help them in part to defeat a bill that would create a consumer bill of rights for cell phone users.

Americans for Solar Power: The Arizona-based group hired California Strategies for help advancing the Schwarzenegger administration's ambitious solar power proposals this year.
