In response to my commentary this morning, where I call on Governor Schwarzenneger to can
ultra-liberal Rob Reiner from the state’s Children and Families Commission, one reader suggested that the Governor cannot ‘terminate’ Reiner because he has been appointed to a four year term.
Actually, if you go to page 183 of this document available on the Governor’s webpage, it shows the the Governor gets three appointments to the commission. Reiner was appointed by now-recalled Governor Gray Davis on December 13, 2000. His term expired on December 12, 2004!
So, Rob Reiner, who is Chairman of this important and influential commission, is only there because he has not been replaced (apparently you serve until you are replaced)!
His term is done, and the taxpayers of California can’t afford to have this hold-over from the Davis Administration as chairman of the Children and Families Commission.
Now that this has come to light, we urge the Governor to appoint a new Chairman today (well, okay, tomorrow is okay) and then Reiner is outta there.
