Bagley a former state assemblyman discusses ways to reform California’s government during the California Constitutional Convention Summit at the Sheraton Hotel in Sacramento. A group of business leaders government officials labor leaders and others holds a state constitutional convention summit to urge a reworking of the state’s political and bureaucratic processes. By Eric Bailey February 25 2009Reporting from Sacramento — Just days after the state’s budget brinkmanship drew renewed public scorn a banquet hall full of concerned citizens Tuesday took the first steps toward what many consider a better idea — an overhaul of California government. The road to change being championed by a collection of business leaders and good-government groups from around the state is a constitutional convention. California hasn’t engaged in such a major reworking of its political and bureaucratic machinery in more than a century since 1878. But amid the state’s cresting fiscal and political misfortunes boosters see a prime opportunity to push for a dramatic retooling of its constitution and the mix of lawmaking and bureaucratic processes it governs. “This is the groundbreaking moment that can set the stage for the change California needs” said Jim Wunderman president of the Bay Area Council the business group sponsoring the forum.
