Meg Whitman’s "Policy Agenda For Building A New California"
By Richard Costigan
Meg Whitman 2010 Deputy Campaign Manager, Director of Policy
 
This week, Meg Whitman is releasing  her "Policy Agenda For Building A New California", a comprehensive policy agenda that introduces her plan for addressing California’s economic and fiscal challenges.

Meg is very proud of this agenda, and it spells out how she will rebuild California’s economy, cut government spending and fix K-12 education. It’s much more than a plan, it’s a strategy that includes specific, realistic goals and a path to accomplish them.
 
I’ve have been privileged to work with many state leaders over the years and I’ve never seen a candidate present such a thoughtfully crafted document that addresses Californians’ top concerns.
 
Meg and her campaign have been listening to Californians for the past year. They are hungry for details, and are looking for a leader who will deliver results.

Californians deserve to know where the candidates stand on the issues. And we all know we cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past.
 
This publication of the policy agenda marks just the beginning of the discussion that Meg wants to have with Californians about their vision for the state.
 
I hope you will join in the discussion. As Meg says, if we make the right choices now, we all believe that best days will be ahead of us.
