When nearly 80 percent of

Californians are telling us the state

is headed in the wrong direction,

it is time to try something new.

I am not a politician with pride of

authorship in failed ideas. I am a

leader from the world of business

and job creation who will be honest

about whats needed to rebuild

our state. Mg Whtman

We cannot continue tohave one o the worst taxenvironments or jobs in

America and expect to remainthe Golden State. My tax cut

plan encourages research anddevelopment, promotes capitalormation and investment innew jobs and provides targetedtax relie to jump-start oureconomy. Long term, were

going to reduce marginal ratesand modernize Caliorniastax structure once our budgetsituation has been stabilized.

While working at eBay,

I gained a deeper, more personal

understanding o the damaging

eect that unounded regulations

and rivolous litigation can have

on small businesses. The economic

toll o heavy-handed government isone o the reasons that motivated

me to run or governor. When we

improve the regulatory environment

in Caliornia, we will have an

immediate positive impact on the

jobs climate. Meg Whitman

We need to put the

brakes on the spendingescalator in Sacramento.

Were not going to spend

ourselves to economic

prosperity, but we could

tax our way to permanent

underemployment.

Meg Whitman

State government is more

than 20 years behind

Silicon Valley in terms

o utilizing modern

technology to drive

efciencies and lower

costs. Were going to make

Sacramento catch up.
