Two years ago today...

Where were you two years ago today? Don't remember? That's ok. Most probably don't. But in the Capitol, Gov. Schwarzenegger and colleagues are celebrating the "Second Anniversary of Historic Workers’ Comp Reforms". Listen to the governor's press conference here. New Assembly GOP leader George Plescia said, "With a strong vision for a growing California economy, Governor Schwarzenegger brought Democrats and Republicans together to fix our broken workers’ compensation system. The historic reforms the governor signed into law two years ago have lowered premiums by more than 40 percent, with more relief on the way. At the same time, we ensured that injured workers will receive the quality care they deserve." And caucus chair Greg Aghazarian added, "Two years ago, I was pleased to join my Democrat and Republican colleagues in working with Governor Schwarzenegger to craft historic workers’ compensation reforms that have lowered premiums, reduced fraud and abuse, and protected quality care for injured workers. As we move forward, I hope my colleagues will stand firm in protecting reforms that have made a real difference in the lives of many Californians, so rates will continue to drop even further, while also providing injured workers with the medical care they deserve to get back on the job.”
