Fresh off her theater-in-the-round performance at the California Republican Party convention, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina will address the Sacramento Press Club on Tuesday for the first time.
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO will discuss her priorities and explain why she thinks she's best positioned to take on Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer in the general election, her campaign says. The downtown Sacramento luncheon begins at noon.
In the Capitol, the Legislature will hold a joint committee hearing to review the efficacy of recent laws directed at reducing foreclosures in California. Lenders, consumer advocates, local government officials and tax experts will be among those testifying at the 1:30 p.m. hearing in Room 4203.
The special session on the state budget is over, but the Legislature is reviewing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget proposals in its normal subcommittee process. The Assembly is scheduled to have hearings on Tuesday examining the governor's proposals on education funding, the Department of Justice and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, will stop by the Green California Summit and Exposition at the Sacramento Convention Center. The summit features exhibitors of environmentally friendly products, as well as speakers such as Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills.
Look for the Republican governor to respond to dueling GOP gubernatorial candidates Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman, who in their effort to seek conservative votes have called for the suspension or repeal of the greenhouse-gas reduction law that Schwarzenegger signed in 2006.
