California Gov. Jerry Brown and the California Chamber of Commerce shared some of the same opinions during addresses to the 88th annual Sacramento Host Breakfast Wednesday in Sacramento.
Frederick “Fritz” Hitchcock, chairman of the board of directors of CalChamber, called for the state to reform the California Environmental Quality Act and to not spend one-time money on ongoing programs.
Brown also wants to see regulatory reform, but he said it will be difficult to achieve. Any regulation was enacted as a law, which means that it was passed by both houses and signed by a governor.
