Governor Brown Terminates 48,000 Cell Phones

Can it be he'll actually be more effective than Arnold?

Good first move.

 

I'd be more impressed if he cuts cellular phones to welfare recipients...good start though.

 

Cheers to that. It just like my office here....lots of people have company issued blackberrys. Only a small percentage actually need them.

 

And what percentage of their actual use is business vs. personal? I'd bet it's mostly personal. They're generally viewed as a perk, not a work tool.

 

I wonder if Arnold had any stock in telecomm?

 

I like where this is headed... so far.

 

Jerry will cut bullshit worthless stuff. *If* he actually proposes and gets passed actual reform (real cuts) then I'll vote for him in the next election cycle.

 

Good grief, it's barely a baby toe crawl forward but at least it's in the right direction...

 

Never let it be said that I didn't acknowledge Moonbeam's effort.

 

I have no dog in this fight, but 20 mil is definately a good start. Hopefully the trend continues and folks follow his lead.

 

$20,000,000/yr in a budget of roughly $100,000,000,000+/yr.

OR

.00002%

OR

Not acquiring one Venti coffee from Starbucks for a person who makes $100k/yr.




This isn't a direction, it's a God and Pony show.

 

It's a start.

 

Just imagine what could be done at the Federal Level.

 

Think of how much bandwidth could be freed up.

 

One too many zeros there gosz...

 

not to mention the reduction green house gas

 

d'0h. Y00 are right.
