don't expect one from her. she's a political hack. but, for the sake of your time, I'll give you her position.
she supports fishing and supports conservation efforts. she respects the differing positions and realizes there's no easy solution. she recognizes that although the MLPA process was not perfectly clear, open, and without issues, it was nonetheless a difficult and arduous task, and she respects the members of the various task forces for the efforts. and she respects the various members of the public who came forward to offer their voices and support for the varying proposals. she desires a balance between environmental and economic interests, and supports a healthy balance, a compromise between the two. while california needs to promote a healthy business climate, neglecting california's wonderful ecosystem would be imprudent.
in other words, she says everything and nothing. she's like all the rest. and even if she does say the right things, once in office, she'll turn us around, bend us over, and give it to us without so much as a reacharound. (btw, I belong to no political party. I hate them all. I'm a proud [little "L"] libertarian.)
right now california is falling into the shitter faster than a malibu mudslide after a rainy season. there are serious issues that the next governor has to deal with, like our bonds being junk status, our streets looking like tijuana, our cities looking like mogadishu, public employee unions running the state, and $400 billion, or thereabouts of a deficit. the mlpa is like #512 on the list of top things to deal with.
as for the sportboat BS, once again, the guys a lying mofo. I've been on hundreds of boats, and I've NEVER seen that happen. they're not perfect, but they do a damn good job. but, as they say, repeat a lie enough times...
