An advisory report to Governor Jerry Brown

I Introduction

A The Charge

In this paper I will adivse Governor Jerry regarding the bilingual educational plan for the native American Indians demanded by the State of California against the permission for exploration of the oil reserves. In this paper I provide recommendations for a comprehensive, state-wide approach regarding the exploration of the oil reserves, bilingual education programs for Native American Indians in California (Armstrong, 325-334). More particularly, the Advisory Commission is expected to focus on the following issues:

The ongoing bilingual education programs of the Native American Indians in California.

The advancement or otherwise resolution of the stalled bilingual education programs project for the American Indians in California.

The perceived need to improve the competitiveness of the oil reserves in California City.

The perceived need to ensure that California's horse racing industry becomes self sustaining.

The perceived need to engender a spirit of cooperation among California's major entertainment venues particularly in the realm of scheduling to ensure that competition among them is not counterproductive to their financial success.

Such other matters as may be referred to the Advisory Commission by the Governor.

In addition to providing the Commission with a focus for its work, the Governor also provided a number of guiding principles:

The regulatory system for California's oil reserves should be reviewed in light of the Administration's focus on regulatory modernization and reform.

Financial losses of the California must not be allowed to continue.

Financial and structural problems facing the gaming, professional oil reserves, and entertainment industries are interrelated and the self'] interest of any one cannot override the interest of the citizens of the State (Armstrong, 325-334).

In formulating its recommendations, the Advisory Commission shall elicit public input from individuals, organizations, community groups, and other interested parties.

The Commission's report will serve as a blueprint to guide state policy in correcting the oil reserves and entertainment infrastructure and to make all of its parts self'] sustaining, attractive to a wider audience, and income positive for the long term.

In addition to producing a long term plan, the Commission must also be working in real'] time to move quickly to solve contractual and other issues the state will confront in the short term.

The Plan may call for the total elimination of entities that are based on deficit spending and are no longer relevant to the healthy future of California.

B Advisory Commission's Initial General Findings

California can no longer support losses in the racing business due to reduced racing revenues and lost stadium revenue ($20.0 million annual impact), which is a result of the State's decision to privatize stadium ownership and ...
