John Fund of the Wall Street Journal speculates today about what California Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggar is contemplating after finally figuring out that he has an uncooperative legislature. The state’s ballot initiative process presents the governor with almost limitless ideas to go to citizens with what he wants, because the state legislature’s popularity is at an all-time low.

Here’s one lawmaker’s suggestion for Schwarzeneggar:

“I’ve told the governor he should go for five in ’05,” Republican Assembly Leader Kevin McCarthy told (Fund). “He could ask for a part-time legislature, redistricting reform, tort reform, a cap on spending growth and the parts of his government reorganization package the Democratic legislature would never pass. It would be a record of reform unequaled by any governor.”
