Current Events Students Talk Back IS THERE LIFE AFTER ARNOLD? California's Next Governor's Race Seven years after Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California in an unprecedented recall election, and two years after Barack Obama was elected president in an equally historic national campaign, the race to replace Schwarzenegger has received comparably little public attention. As election day draws closer, will Californians choose Jerry Brown, Steve Poizner, or Meg Whitman as the next governor? Brown, the former governor and current Attorney General, is almost certain to be the Democratic nominee. Whitman, the former CEO of Internet giant eBay, has established a strong lead in the polls for the Republican nomination, but Poizner, the state's Insurance Commissioner and a former hi-tech CEO himself, made it clear last week that he won't go down without a fight. Hear more about the three candidates, how they would govern, and what sort of state Schwarzenegger will leave to them. Is there life after Arnold? Join us Wednesday at 11:30 for free lunch and expert panel discussion on California's next leaders and the challenges they will face. Wednesday, February 10th

Trousdale Parkway - in front of VKCWe can't move forward until you mail it back. That's why it's so important that you fill in your census form and promptly mail it back. Census information affects the numbers of seats your state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.
When you do the math, it's easy to see what an accurate count of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure. More services. A brighter tomorrow for everyone. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like: hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, public works projects, and emergency services. |
