Arnold Schwarzenegger has an agenda! Well, it's really not that specific. Basically, he wants to continue being a Republican Democrat or a Democratic Republican or one of the two. He plans on focusing on Healthcare, Redistricting, and the Deficit, although not particularly in that order. How he plans to pay for any service improvements is beyond me. Here's more:
Energized by this month's landslide victory, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is assembling a wide-ranging 2007 agenda - hoping to help millions of Californians without health care, trying again to redraw the state's legislative districts and fixing the dysfunctional prison system.
Some proposals could emerge soon after the new two-year legislative session begins Dec. 4. Others may come into focus in early January when Schwarzenegger delivers his State of the State address. Many details of the governor's plans - particularly health care - are still in flux.
But the style in which he will pursue them appears clear.

The dynamics this year, however, could make achieving his goals more difficult. Windfall revenue won't be sufficient to close a looming $5.5 billion budget gap, let alone create more programs. And with no statewide election scheduled next year, Schwarzenegger has no motivation to notch accomplishments fast, and Democrats have no incentive to extract policy wins while the governor is amenable.

Well, I guess we shouldn't actually expect anything out of our government for another 15 months.
