Jerry is not about to use Arnold's veto pen to restrict
protections of employees. 2012 presents a winning hand dealt from the
combined deck of a Democratic Governor and California legislature. My
friend and colleague, Brian McDonald, an Orange County Business Attorney
providing guidance to California businesses, compiled a list of the recent
legislation that you can find posted for downloading from the link provided
