“Well, that and workers' comp reform. He did lobby me for workers' comp reform, because Paul Patton asked him to. And the gas tax. He always wanted a hike in the gas tax.”

“The passage of workers' compensation reform in 2004 was a critical step forward for small businesses in California and helped produce and preserve thousands of jobs in our state. The ballot initiatives would eviscerate those reforms, resulting in massive increases in worker's compensation costs, and send our economy into a tailspin. We will rally California's entire business community to preserve the reforms and will wage a vigorous campaign against these job killer initiatives.”
Allen Zaremberg
“Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.”
Mark Twain
