Sunne Wright-McPeak is the governors secretary for business, transportation and housing. She is also chair for the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley. In a short interview, she gave me an overview to get me up to speed. "First, he will be talking about general obligation bonds 1a through 1e. Second, why those bond measures are important to the valley, and third, he also has a plan for the San Joaquin Valley."
"No other government has put as much attention and care into the valley," adds Wright-McPeak.

So The governor laid it out:
He has created 17,300 jobs.
Highway 99 is the only highway to get a billion dollars to be fixed.
There is 10.4 billion for schools. "That will enable tens
of thousands of new classrooms. We will also build
career education facilities," said Schwarzenegger.
"There is a 2.4 billion dollar package set aside
for affordable housing," he added.
There's a 4.1 billion dollar package to fix our levees.
"Our system is 100 years old," said Schwarzenegger.
"They are more vulnerable than the ones in New Orleans," he added.
Levees: 71 sites
Population: 37 million.
Of course it's a great idea. It's one that will work.
