Schwarzenegger-s Transition Team

Hosted by
California-s Governor-elect today announced a transition team that runs the gamut from conservative Republicans to liberal Democrats. Led by Republican Congressman David Dreier, it will include conservative businessman Bill Simon, and Willie Brown, the Democratic Mayor of San Francisco and former Assembly Speaker. Pledging that his cabinet will have that kind of diversity too, Arnold Schwarzenegger continued to talk tough about rescinding recent enactments signed into law by Governor Davis, and repeated his threat to go -to the people- if Democrats in Sacramento won-t take his cues. We hear about his initial choices, including Florida Governor Jeb Bush-s top financial aide, from reporters from the LA Times and Sun-Sentinel.

  • Reporter's Notebook: Works of Anti-War Painter Hans Burkhardt on Display
    Picasso and Goya may be the best known anti-war painters in the western world, but Los Angeles has a major war-protester of its own. Hans Burkhardt, who died in 1994, aroused controversy by using human skulls in anti-war paintings about World War II and Vietnam. Jack Rutberg, owner of the La Brea Avenue art gallery that bears his name, has more on the Burkhardt exhibit.
