It has been an honor and pleasure to provide you with information and commentary about state government these past years.
Today I am accepting an appointment from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to serve as the Secretary for State and Consumer Services with the mission to hold down government spending. I am resigning my position the Board of Equalization and turning it over to the capable hands of my chief deputy, Barbara Alby.
Because I now have only one boss, the Governor, this will be the last posting for 2010. I need to focus exclusively on helping the Governor with the duties he assigns me.
Thank you for your comments, support, suggestions and prayers, as they are all greatly appreciated.
