I m not trying to create a flame war for anyone, but from the non-media hype
view, what is the real issue(s) behind the Grey Davis recall event.
According to new reports this morning, Davis has just promised to maintains
closer communication with the people if the recall fails.

I have read aspects of business and people leaving Calif,but I dont really
trust what the media is saying. What the truth?

 If anyone cares to reply, please let me know offline.
