...California's two-year-old department of consumer affairs is rapidly becoming the state's most active agency largely because of its director, John Kehoe, 42, a former legislative aide to Governor Ronald Reagan. Kehoe, who gets along well with the state's lawmakers, helped guide through the legislature a law creating the nation's first bureau of auto repair.
