Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most charismatic California governor since Ronald Reagan, does not run California government. He presides over lifetime bureaucracies defined and dominated by unions and interest groups. When the former movie star staked his political capital on passing a series of initiatives to tame California's public employee unions, he lost and they won. In Sacramento, the head of the prison guards' union is more powerful than the governor.
