Senator Harman Hosts Dinner With Governor and Republican Caucus

Sacramento - Senator Tom Harman (R-Huntington Beach) hosted a small dinner with Governor Schwarzenegger and various members of both the Senate and Assembly Republican Caucus at his home in Sacramento Wednesday evening to discuss the need to maintain a balance between the environment and economy.

“As a native of Southern California, clean water, beaches, air and our state parks have always been something important to me and the communities I represent,” stated Harman.

Governor Schwarzenegger has demonstrated leadership by actively engaging local, state, and global leaders to discuss and explore ways to better protect both the environment and economy. Last week, during a European mini-tour, Governor Schwarzenegger stopped in France and England to meet with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss global warming, among other issues. Britain's next prime minister, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, as well as both the Labour and Conservative parties have jointly pledged to work together to battle climate change.

“It is incumbent upon Republicans to inform the Governor that we are open to discussing ways to protect, enhance and restore our environment, but in a fair and balanced manner. We must discuss proposals that will create jobs and businesses which provide much-needed economic stimulus to our economy,” said Harman. “By bringing the Governor and my Republican colleagues together, I hope to bring forth fruitful dialog.”

California has some of the largest and most visited parks and coastlines in the nation.  As legislators strive to bring more jobs and businesses back into California, Senator Harman believes that the needs of our natural resources must also be balanced.

Last night’s event was intended to be the first in a series of prolific discussions with the Governor and Republican Caucus members on this issue.

How does Senator Harman have any credibility on issues related to balancing business and the environment?

He is the last guy I want trying to moderate the Governor on any policy area.

How surprising that Adam had something negative to say. Adam, when it comes to discussing Sen. Harman you have no creditability. Actually, since we are on the subject, I cannot think of any subject you are creditable on.

[Adam is a good guy]

I don't know Mr. Harman but I know Adam and he is a good and fair person and I trust the things he says. I wonder about the need for a dinner like this as well. By the way, does anyone have a copy of the menu or was it a potluck dinner? Did the Gov. bring a salid?

These ad hominem attacks only serve to reflect poorly on the attacked. Let's try to post on the issues, children. Adam is an honorable and a decent man with a consistent record of accurate insights regarding the OC.

Tom Harman and Gov Arnold are moving up the ranks of my favorite Democrats. I applaud them on their leadership in the marketplace of ideas on the environment.

Long-time politico,

I will agree with you that Adam is a man.

Adam is as creditable as the poll numbers he put out on behalf of Janet Nguyen
