One of the biggest problems that we have right now is that in some areas of the State we cannot get additional jobs created because they say the housing costs are too high.

There does need to be a speed-up of the process.It takes entirely too long to addres5 some of those concerns and, in the process, it becomes so extremely expensive and cumbersome that it tends to turn away those people and companies that want to provide much needed housing.

We're looking at available sources, all sources, in the area of additional energy.

There have been various pesticides that have been properly tested, that have been registered and then have been used and later on they've been discoveredthat they can create harm, like in the case of this Oftanol that was being used here (in Sacramento, against the Japanese beetle). Now they find that it can cause problems at least to animals. So we stopped using it.

Every lie has 2 parts - the lie we tell others and the one we tell ourselves to justify it.

My understanding has always been that if there is any indication that pesticides are harmful, that they would not be allowed to be used.

I don't see any need to unduly burden the taxpayer.
