		<content type="html"><![CDATA[We need a leader for governor. Arnold is just an actor playing the only role he knows how to play. The whole legislature can't be blamed. It's the system that allows a minority to sink the boat when they don't get their way. A real leader would get the current legislature to work together in the short term, and guide us to a long term fix of a broken system.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I agree with the findings of the report, and Mr. Russo's editorial. Both are in line with what I found to be the case during the recession of the 90's.  During that time I had the opportunity to interface with dozens of businesses throughout California. While economic development professionals were lamenting the "alarming outflow of businesses," I was saying, "California is a huge business creating machine. And, because the state is always growing businesses, it is only natural that some would find it in their best interest to move out of state.  So, stop worrying about businesses leaving the state. Focus on improving the environment for businesses to start up, and to expand. Forget about trying to correct the misconceptions of out of state business inquirers. You are wasting your energy on them.  Focus on growing your own."<br /><br />Now that we know that business migration is not a major component of our state's economy, will the state's "local economic development corps cease to work diligently to persuade, cajole and even beg business inquirers that they have the wrong perceptions of California?"  I doubt it. It is much to sexy to pull stunts, as the governor did, than it is to do the unglamorous work of tending to our own gardens.]]></content>
