The quality of government services in California declined because for decades there was little resistance in the legislature to special interests who profit from providing those services. That started to change in 2011 with the launch of GFC to support legislators who serve the general interest.
Money plays an important role but is of little impact without persistence and professionalism. That’s the mission of GFC’s 18 Courage Committee chapters aided by 16 GFC staff and contract lobbyists. That’s how we block bad bills and pursue reforms. It’s a non-finite war because special interests will always prowl Sacramento.
Not surprisingly, the successful pursuit of good governance requires the same qualities required to succeed in business and sports. Thank you for your participation.
