In an August 2009 interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Anderson identified private sector growth as a solution to decreasing unemployment and fixing the budget in California, and noted, “The long-term answer to the budget is to grow private-sector jobs as quickly as possible while stopping all new spending.

After signing the bill, Governor Schwarzenegger said, “We owe our veterans a tremendous debt of gratitude for the contributions they have made to our state and for their dedicated service to our country.
