Reiner resigns as First 5 chairman (In other words, Rob repuke boated)

[Ernesto]

(snip) Schwarzenegger, in accepting Reiner's resignation after saying last week that he was not planning to replace him, said Wednesday that "Rob Reiner has always put California's kids first and I thank him for the great work he has done over the last seven years. Because of Rob's efforts, California has become a national leader in providing early childhood health and education services for our youngest children and their families."
"For seven years I have volunteered as the chairperson of First 5 California, and I am proud of all that we have accomplished," Reiner said in his resignation letter that was submitted to the governor after the two Hollywood celebrities discussed the issue over the weekend.
