I like his quick wit and ability to deal with the opposition in real time. And as an administrator he is okay. But I have yet to see his vision on the homeless and the water problem we have in this state. If I was gov I would enlist our superior universities to work on a state wide desalinization program to send water through out the state. With all the coast land we have we could be sending water to all the western states. And in my mind the homeless problem can be resolved but I don't think there is a will. And that is with all parties, although with the pubs its more of an NIMBY issue.
BTW, when I talk about those issues, it's not simply saying Homelessness is bad or we need better water conservation. I'm talking about visionary plans that set concrete goals that will definitively move the needle. Will there ever be a politician that honestly says I have a plan to end the homeless problem in 8 years, and here is what we will do starting Today, next month, next year and at the halfway point. I know we have the brains to solve the problem, but once again it's that pesky will.
