The OC Register cited Govern For California in a recent editorial about cynical games being played by the Legislature and Governor in awarding excessive compensation to state prison guards. Additional compensation for already highly-compensated prison guards would be to the detriment of taxpayers and programs funded out of the ever-shrinking discretionary portion of the General Fund.

Mission
Our mission is to be a permanent counter to special interest influence in the California State Legislature and on the statewide ballot. We block special-interest serving legislation and initiatives while promoting legislation and reforms that will increase the quality of public services at reasonable cost to taxpayers.
