	Bill Simon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simon was born in Neptune, New Jersey, the son of William E. Simon, Sr.
		Simon, co-chair of Simon and Sons, was not named as a defendant in the case and has said that he was not involved in the daily management of the firm.
		Simon's campaign centered largely on allegations of corruption in the incumbent's administration and Davis's handling of the 2001 energy crisis.

	William Simon, R.I.P. 06-05-2000
		Bill Simon, the energy czar, is a brilliant fellow, a bold decision-maker, a leader of persons.
		Bill later told me he almost had cardiac arrest when he read the headline, before realizing I was giving him a boost.
		Simon’s performance does not mean we think he’s just the right man to run Treasury, although he may well be.

	Governor's Race / BILL SIMON / Republican / Profile: Leaving comfort zone of business and philanthropy is big leap
		Simon is warm and affable and ready with goofy stories of high school friends or sweet-sounding lessons learned by an obedient son.
		Simon is really from the suede generation, the group of Baby Boomers assigned the unfortunate task of letting loose somewhere between Tricia Nixon's wedding and the release of "Boogie Oogie Oogie." It was during this period after college that Simon found himself in Greenwich Village, New York City.
		Simon touted in campaign literature of successfully convicting "all five New York area Mafia crime families," but the only mob case he handled on his own was a parole hearing for convicted mobster Philip "Rusty" Rastelli.

	Bill Simon Slapped with $200 Million Defamation Suit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The furor surrounding Bill Simon's release of a photo purporting to show Gov. Gray Davis accepting a campaign contribution in a State Capitol office shows few signs of dying down.
		A strategist for Simon calls the suit frivolous and suggested it was an attempt by Davis to divert attention from other allegations his administration was for sale to the highest bidder.
		Simon used the photograph as evidence that Davis had engaged in illegal campaign fundraising, but almost immediately had to back off when reporters began to question if the photo was actually taken in the Capitol.

	Bill Simon's Enron Ties
		Simon held a 1.4 percent stake in Hanover, which after the JEDI investment was worth tens of millions of dollars.
		Simon wasn't a member of Hanover's board at the time of the improper accounting, but a week before Hanover made the announcement, the company reported that every annual report it has issued since going public in 1997 contained errors.
		Simon has told reporters on the campaign trail that he was barely involved in Hanover's business activities, but Hanover executives say Simon was intimately involved during his six years on the board.

		He was the son of Charles Simon, Jr., an insurance broker, and Eleanor Kearns Simon, and was the grandson of a French immigrant textile-dying manufacturer.
		Simon continued to serve simultaneously as Deputy Secretary and head of the FEO until George Shultz's resignation as Treasury Secretary in April 1974.

	Bill Whalen: Simon Says (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bill Whalen is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.
		A sensible strategy for Simon would be to follow the best instincts of the empowerment movement—talk about economic opportunity and reach beyond traditional Republican voting blocs—while adapting to California’s challenging terrain for conservatives, one in which Republicans have lost every presidential and U.S. Senate race since 1988.
		Simon needs to break the mold, perhaps with his own “Nixon goes to China” move, such as siding with Bush on amnesty for illegal immigrants.

		Simon was a voice for freedom, both as a public policymaker and as president of the John M. Olin Foundation.
		Simon felt the need to prove himself again and again, and in so doing spent much of his life in service to country, philanthropy and church.

		Simon now serves on the Board of Directors for the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, a non-profit public interest law organization dedicated to restoring a balance between the rights of crime victims and the criminally accused.
		Simon believes the state's current accountability system and academic standards are "probably acceptable," although he would "tweak them a little bit." The problem, he said, is that they're not mandatory.
		Simon said a nurse divined his mother was the anonymous flower-giver and asked the dying woman if it was indeed her doing.

	[No title]
		But Bill Simon is emphatically not another Bret Schundler, who never won the endorsement of support of the Republican establishment in New Jersey.
		The odd contention during the Republican primary that Bill Simon was not a real Republican and has spent his life as an independently-minded and politically uninvolved individual will help not hurt Simon in the general election.
		Gray Davis' tactic will doubtless be to portray Simon as some sort of extreme right wing nut, and Simon's image in the eyes of Californians is that he makes up his own mind and does not march in lockstep with his party.

	LA Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The party's candidate for governor, investor Bill Simon Jr., is all tangled up in his secretive financial and legal affairs, which include offshore tax shelters the IRS considers "abusive" and a $78 million fraud judgment won against his firm by a former business partner, a convicted major drug trafficker.
		After Simon won the nomination last March by a huge margin over fumbling former L.A. Mayor Dick Riordan, whose candidacy was shattered by the intervention in the Republican primary of Democratic Governor Gray Davis, Simon enthusiasts touted their man as "the new Reagan." It hasn't turned out that way.
		That was his agricultural summit in Lodi, during which Simon came off as a somewhat interested bystander and after which, under questioning, the candidate changed his position on the global-warming bill from opposition to neutrality and acknowledged that he neither knew how much the state's agriculture budget was nor had a policy on farm-labor issues.

		If Simon had run a better campaign last year, free of such silly blunders as failing to cleanly release his tax returns, he'd had have spared the public the bother of this recall as he'd already be governor.
		Complicating matters was that the only way Simon could have gotten attention was at Schwarzenegger's expense by running a negative campaign that would have drained millions from his personal fortune, failed, and all but ended his future in California Republican politics.
		Simon's name remains on the ballot but his supporters will have to choose for themselves: He didn't endorse anyone in his exit statement.

		"Bill Simon and Arnold Schwarzenegger are agreed on so many issues that it's a natural that many of Bill Simon's supporters will come and embrace the Schwarzenegger campaign," said Rep. David Dreier, a fellow Republican who is a co-chairman of the actor's campaign.
		Political commentator Arianna Huffington, who is running as an independent, said she respects Simon's decision but that his departure was part of a long pattern of "strong-arming" by both Democrats and Republicans to try to limit the field.

		Simon's campaign a) boldly said he was a business success but would not talk about it; b) properly challenged the scandalous Davis fundraising but would not release Simon's tax returns; c) wisely charged Davis with gross mismanagement, but was itself a fiasco.

	California Insider - A Weblog by Sacramento Bee Columnist Daniel Weintraub
		Republican Bill Simon dropped out of the race for governor for what he said was an "obvious" reason: there were too many Republicans and his campaign wasn't going anywhere.
		Simon made the decision to quit the race for governor Friday night after consulting with campaign aides and supporters and his wife, Cindy, and brother Peter, he said.
		The low point for Simon came when he accused Davis of breaking the law by accepting a campaign donation in a government building, and provided what he said was photographic evidence to back up the charge, only to find that the picture was taken in a private home in Santa Monica.

	By William F. Buckley Jr. on the Bill Simon Victory on National Review Online
		— Bill Simon was so invisible a name in California that when he won the primary, some people reportedly had to look in the newspaper to remind themselves of the name of the winner.
		At his first major appearance announcing his candidacy in New York City, his speech and manner were those of the committed amateur, and many in the audience contrasted his performance wistfully with that of his late father, the charismatic former Secretary of the Treasury, a commanding figure on stage and off stage.
		If it was Governor Davis's intention to hurt Riordan — on the grounds that he was a graver prospective menace than Simon — it's clear that he did hurt him, but not clear that he will, in the end, have an easier time of it with Simon as his opponent.

	Wilshire Gazette - Governor's Debate (Gray Davis, Bill Simon, Peter Camejo)
		The campaign for Republican candidate Bill Simon Jr., in an obvious strategy aiming to divide left-wing voters, had attempted to involve Camejo as a debate participant; when Davis saw he would be criticized from both right and left flanks, he threatened to "boycott;" Simon backed down and invited Camejo simply as a personal guest.
		The crowd and cameras surged forward as if to give Camejo one final push into the political arena but the wave crashed at last against a wall of LA Times staff and police who officially uninvited him and commanded the crowd to retreat.
		Simon and Camejo earlier debated on September 17 in Beverly Hills but "debate dodger" Davis was absent, instead at a bill-signing ceremony in downtown LA.
