Governance

We must not waste our time and effort wondering and debating about whether or not the primary authority should be given to the Governor. Personally, I have no problem with the idea of giving the primary authority to the Governor. Whoever he or she is, our main concern must focus more on whether or not such an individual is a person who possesses the positive human factor (i.e., integrity, accountability, honesty, commitment, trustworthiness, etc.). If the Governor does possess these qualities in great measures, the job will be done effectively and efficiently. If, however, the reigning Governor at each point in time does not possess any of these qualities, then we will be in for a rough ride. The best way to avoid this plight is to be diligent in our choices when election times come. That is, the most effective way to solve a problem is to prevent it. We must not elect people, place them in office, and then begin to worry about their inability to perform. Instead, we must do our homework first before we place people in office. This is the way to go in California. We cannot succeed in this venture of education without having people who possess the finest human factor qualities. Our new education plan must make it possible for us to produce this quality of people for future leadership.
