ANALYSIS:
Her plans are to focus on three main steps in constructing a New California. I agree with her stance on rebuilding Sacramento in order to fully reach the potential on building a New California. She focuses on three goals as a start of her campaign and role as governor; the three goals being to create jobs in California using her job plan, cut government spending and lastly to rebuild and reinforce education. Her plan to create more jobs for Californians is based on her plan focused on placing tax cuts and incentives. The job plan has gained a lot of popularity, I too agree with her focus on the unemployment problem because it has affected not only a small group of people but it has caused an effect on the entire state of California. Fixing the problem of unemployment in California would lead to the success of reconstructing the economy as well because the more jobs that are created the more the economy will reach a stimulated point. Her second goal is to help cut government spending in order to also better help stimulate the economy. Whitman’s plan to cut government spending is focused on preventing taxing rates to increase unless the economy is increasing as well, also to regulate the enforcement of the “two thirds budget requirement”, lastly to focus on changing the legislature from full time to a part time legislature. Her last goal is to remediate any problems present in the state’s education program. She plans on making more money more accessible for classrooms across California in order to fix education.
POSITIONS:
Immigration: She stands for enforcing the security along the border to stop illegal immigration from affecting California. Whitman plans to eliminate the admissions of undocumented students to any UC, CSU or California Community College. Along with the extra security in the school systems across California she also wants to prohibit undocumented drivers from obtaining driver licenses. She wants to enforce security on the border and supports the measures that the federal government wants to take in order to fight illegal immigration.
Environment: Whitman supports all efforts to open the pathways for new renewable sources to be placed in use. She also supports promotion of transportation that uses clean air and helps the air stay clean. Whitman plans to rethink the uses of offshore drilling and nuclear power as an energy source.
Public Safety: Whitman plans to enforce the “three strikes, you’re out” law in order to make sure that the criminals are not in the communities in which we live in. Another issue she feels strongly about is the death penalty. Whitman states that she as governor will not weaken the death penalty laws that are already in place. She also does not believe in the legalization of marijuana and the establishment of new laws on gun control.
