This blog will chronicle my support of Phil Angelides and point out the ridiculousness of those other two guys running for Governor.

For example, Phil just released a new plan today to help recruit for California the best and most qualified teachers. We face a teacher shortage in this state, Phil's got a plan to help remedy that problem.

Here are the highlights:

• Restore and restructure California's teaching fellowship program to attract bright young people and mid-career adults to teaching.
• Roll back Arnold Schwarzenegger's college fee increases on teacher training.
• Identify the pay and incentives California needs to attract and retain talented teachers.
• Restore funding for teacher support and learning.
• Double the number of public school counselors to support teachers in the classroom.
• Expand homeownership assistance for teachers.
