California Special Election Watch: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Kicks Off His Special Election Campaign
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks during a town hall meeting at K & N Engineering kicking off the fall campaign season to discuss his reform agenda on the November Special Election Monday Sept. 12, 2005, in Riverside, Calif.
The ASSociated Press has Schwarzenegger opens campaign for reform initiatives.
Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked off his campaign Monday in support of a Nov. 8 special election he says is needed to curb the power of labor unions and state legislators and rein in state spending
He took aim, especially, at the public employee unions he has feuded with all year.
“I’m talking about the union bosses now that want to control and want to drive our taxes up,” he said.
“It is unfair to treat those public employees much better than they treat you and then you have to pay the taxes and foot the bill.”
The Governator needs to make this case about the leftie public employee unions, the union bosses influence in Sacramento and how they busted the California state budget under recalled Democrat Governor Gray-OUT Davis .
Schwarzenegger is expected to announce later this week that he will seek a second term. While not addressing the issue specifically, he did give a brief campaign-style rundown of his accomplishments in office, including reducing the $14-billion deficit without raising taxes (the deficit for next year is now estimated at $4.7 billion).
Flap will be live blogging the Governor’s luncheon address to the CRP on Saturday.
Stay Tuned.
