The empowered parties and lobbyists have wreaked havoc on California government and nothing short of a Constitutional Convention can create a long-lasting solution to this state's problem, according to Andrew Giacomini, lead counsel for the organization Repair California. Giacomini hopes that the populist rage and involvement will fuel voters to adopt Repair California's strategy to create a people's convention.

Giacomini is on the Executive Board of the Bay Area Council, a business group based in Northern California. He also serves as the group's government relations counsel.

The system is so broken that even insiders can't get change to happen in Sacramento, according to Repair California's legal counsel Andrew Giacomini. And he should know since he's got friends in high places.

Giacomini lays out the situation, blocks and steps in this public presentation held in Sunnyvale, CA on July 31, 2009.
