Volume 2, Number 30: February 1, 1999
Ostensibly, newly elected Gov. Gray Davis'
three-day trip to Mexico this week is an exercise in friendship
between California and Mexico, focusing on trade issues and
reaffirming the bonds between the state that was once part of Mexico
and its neighbor to the south.
Volume 2, Number 31: February 8, 1999
Newly elected Gov. Gray Davis' handling of the
press is becoming a touchy topic indeed among the Capitol press corps,
many of whose members are giving the Democratic governor remarkably
low marks for his ability to communicate his message to the public.
Volume 2, Number 32: February 15, 1999
Environmentalists who appeared pleased at the
election of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis after 16 years of Republican
rule may be having second thoughts.
Volume 2, Number 33: February 22, 1999
For political junkies, the virtual disappearance
of television coverage of the state Capitol is sad indeed. One would
think that the hard-fought issues that come together in Sacramento --
health care, smog inspections, water disputes, welfare, education,
prison reform, to name just a few -- would hold sufficient interest
for news directors across the state to devote coverage to them on
their nightly newscasts.
