9 Create Jobs Create at least two million private sector jobs by 2015 Cut taxes to give businesses incentive to invest, expand and hire more workers in California Streamline regulations to ensure California’s competitiveness Revitalize manufacturing and create new industries around clean technology

10 Cut Spending Identify and implement at least $15 billion in spending cuts from the state budget Reduce overall state workforce by 40,000 through attrition. Establish a sunset commission that reports on the relevancy of departments and regulations Use the Governor’s veto pen to reduce and control the size of the government

11 Fix Education Grade each school A through F so parents can go online and easily determine how well their schools are performing Give control of the schools back to the parents, principals and teachers Reward outstanding teachers to keep them in our schools Expand charter schools to give parents and students more choices
