Margita Thompson Governor Quotations

Our of respect for the will of the people, the governor will veto (the bill).

Just as people on the Democratic side of the aisle have their priorities, people on the Republican side of the aisle have their priorities, and what the governor is doing is looking out for all Californians and trying to get the best deal so that we can move forward and have a plan that improves people's quality of life into the future.

The governor believes the courts are the correct venue for this decision to be made. He will uphold whatever decision the court renders.

While we are disappointed we did not make the June ballot, everyone knew it would be very difficult. The governor has always said what is important is not June or November but that he and the Legislature work to rebuild California.

The governor will uphold whatever the court decides.

The governor will not change his mind on this bill. The legal issues do not change, regardless of public input. It will take another vote of the people or a court action to determine the issue.

The governor is pleased that the president is coming out to California and he looks forward to talking with him about the issues that are critical to California.

We don't know. The governor is focussed on the budget and the strategic growth plan.

We have a very positive relationship. Just last month, there was a very productive meeting with the border governors where they discussed and shared challenges on both sides of the border.

The office is reviewing it. Once the determination is made if the governor should weigh in and how, we will.
