SACRAMENTO -- Sean Harrigan, ousted as president of the $182.8 billion California Public Employees Retirement System, said in an interview Wednesday that he's still convinced Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Walt Disney Co. and Safeway Inc., played significant roles in his departure.
"I was totally convinced in early December and late November, and I'm totally convinced today, the Chamber of Commerce and Steve Burd and Michael Eisner and the Schwarzenegger administration played a key role in making sure I wasn't re-elected by the state personnel board to the CalPERS board," Harrigan said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press Wednesday from Spokane, Wash.
"It was the only place they could take me out," he said.
Of Harrigan's comments, Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson said "it's too bad the holiday season hasn't done away with Mr. Harrigan's paranoia."

No, Sean. If Arnie tried to bounce you, you'd be dead.
I've heard that the guy is a union "jerk." It's a good thing that he's gone. Apparently, his ego is bruised. Anyone wonder why he cares about being dumped. Must be something in it for him that we don't know about.
