Even more disturbing, some of them passed. Some of his statements and opinions have been confrontational. He has a tendency to dismiss those who don't agree with him. I hope the next one is more interested in cooperations and progress.<br />When I first started reading, my main interest was mystery and suspense. I still enjoy it, but have added many other sub-genre. Maine is a favorite place for us. It was where we lived when we first got married. We will be making a New England trip soon and will be spending a few days there. We love both the mountains and the rugged coast.<br />I hope Hearts in the Crosshairs is a big success for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39455152295058463902016-09-23T23:47:11.341-04:002016-09-23T23:47:11.341-04:00Good job, Marilyn!

She is the first female Latina elected Lieutenant Governor. She works with our Governor Rauner, Constitutional Officers and the Illinois General Assembly to give our residents every opportunity to achieve the American dream. Our current Governor and elected officials are unable to come up with an accepted budget for the state. Our last fiscal year ended with no budget, programs closed and universities staff downsized do to no state funding. <br />marilynridgway78{at]gmail[dot]com Marilyn R. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05823250623223816968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-34663231280878629042016-09-23T19:21:45.889-04:002016-09-23T19:21:45.889-04:00Wow, Debbie, you've really done your homework!...Wow, Debbie, you've really done your homework!

The lieutenant governor is elected to serve a four-year term and can serve a maximum of two terms. In addition to basically ceremonial roles, serving as acting governor in the absence of the Governor, and as President of the California State Senate, the lieutenant governor either sits on, or appoints representatives to, many of California's regulatory commissions and executive agencies.<br /><br />California is one of eighteen states where the governor and lieutenant governor do not run as running mates on the same ticket: in California the governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately, although both are up for election in the same year every four years. California has had a governor and a lieutenant governor of different parties 26 of the past 31 years.<br /><br />California has had 41 lieutenant governors and five acting lieutenant governors since achieving statehood in 1850. The current lieutenant governor is Gavin Newsom, who was sworn into office on January 10, 2011<br />******<br />I am not happy with our current Governor....he needs to be replaced with a Godly man who will protect our state from the corruption spreading throughout this country. chappydebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393540849299888872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-54710240634087352512016-09-23T12:50:38.448-04:002016-09-23T12:50:38.448-04:00That is so cool, Anita!

Canada has a Governor General, who is the resident representative of the current ruling monarch of the United Kingdom, currently Queen Elizabeth II. Canadians elect the Prime Minister and ruling party, but the Governor General is appointed by the Queen on the Prime Minister's recommendation. The Governor General then appoints a Lieutenant Governor for each province. They are the liaisons between the monarch and their province and act in her stead during state functions.<br /><br />For example, either the Governor General of Canada, or the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, will be available to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family for the duration of their 2016 Royal Visit, which starts tomorrow. <br /><br />Or you can think of it this way...if the Queen wants something from Canada, or to talk to someone from Canada, she must send a request to the Governor General's office. Likewise, if I, as a Canadian, wish to have an audience with the Queen, I would send my request to the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, who would forward it to the Governor General's office in Ottawa. They would decide if my visit had merit and if so, they would pass the request on to their counterpart in the UK.
