Pete Peterson, Candidate for California Secretary of State

In California, the Secretary of State office is the first person you see when opening a new business and the last person you see when the lights go off and the doors are closed—the sight isn’t pretty.  The registration process for businesses in California is one of the worst in the country.  In fact, many California businesses register in nearby states such as Nevada and Texas while they wait for the California registration to come through just so they can open a bank account.  With one of the worst unemployment rates in the country, make it easier and cheaper to start a business here in California.
