Public Servants, Not Party Servants
I had a simple test for hiring in the Governor's Office: do you want to serve the public? I didn't care what party you came from, and I didn't care what my party said about you. That's how it should be. Public servants, not party servants.
USC Schwarzenegger Institute had a fantastic event about the 20th anniversary of AB 32, California's historic law I signed to terminate pollution and prove you can protect the environment and pump up the economy. Since 2000, California's emissions are down 21%, while our economy is up 81%.
We served the public. Not the party.
