By Michael "Tiger" Palitz

Candidate for Governor

The time is now to start our schools and public services on the road to recovery. Lip service is a way of the past and past administrations.We can all work to achieve this mandatory goal.
Those of us lucky enough to have gone thru the California Public School System in the 50's 60's and 70's understand the real benefits that were taken for granted. This has not been the case in the 80's and 90's. We have allowed our elected officials to destroy and ignore the single most important element in keeping our society together for the long haul, education. Every Politician, be they male or female of any gender use the education card in getting un-suspecting voters to cast their ballots for them, only to fade into the sunset upon election and put this mandatory survival issue on the back burner. You here the " Lack of funds " excuse, the " Crime " excuse, the " Lack of management excuse' and meanwhile California has one of the worst public school systems in the nation and certainly one of the most out dated in terms of equiptment. let's talk about the current candidates. Grey Davis, where was he all the years he so elequently states He was " Governor in training " while our kids are being taught in 80 degree classrooms, where was he when Orange county, one of the most prosperous counties in the nation, went bankrupt, where was this " Governor in training" when the L.A. riots were making a statement to the world, going far beyond just the Rodney king Incident? I'll tell you. he was in sacramento in a plush office doing nothing. Al Checci, a multi-multi-millionaire so bored he wants to be governor. This man was not born here, this man has limited knowledge about the needs of the state, all this man has is $1,000,000 a week to spend on the election to buy your vote. He is currently a household word along with his nemisis Jane Harmon. When are these people going to learn!! you can't buy your way into office. Huffington tried, many people have tried only to fall flat. Anyone who votes for the Republican Harmon, or the Bored Billionaire Checci does not care about our children or future. I promise to focus 100% of my energies into the betterment of public schools, i will divert the necessary funding immediately to achieve this within 90 days of being elected. make the right choice, vote for a hard working citizen like yourselves. keep the lazy boys and the millionaires on the golf course where they belong.
