Sacramento - Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman said Wednesday that she probably will vote against a November ballot initiative that would suspend AB32, California's landmark greenhouse gas reduction law.
Whitman, appearing on the conservative John and Ken radio show on KFI in Southern California, said, "In all likelihood I will vote no on Prop. 23," adding that she still backs a one-year moratorium that she would impose if elected. Proposition 23 would suspend AB32 until unemployment drops to 5.5 percent or lower for a year.
Whitman had been pressed on the issue but had not stated her position on the ballot proposition. She made her statement with the caveat that she had not made her "final decision."
Opponents of the proposition welcomed Whitman's stance, calling it an "enormous boost" for their efforts, while supporters noted that she still has serious concerns with AB32.
Earlier this week, a Sacramento judge made several alterations to the ballot summary that had been sought by supporters of the proposition, replacing references to "polluters" with "sources of emissions" and changing the description of the measure from requiring the state to "suspend" rather than "abandon" implementation of greenhouse gas reduction measure.

Another one bites the dust...
Probably? PROBABLY?
What part of “liberals can barely spell ‘science’” does that RINO bimbo not understand?
WTF? Is she crazy?
A RINO pandering to the left. What is really stupid is that it never pays off at the ballot box anyway. These RINOs sell their meager supply of integrity and the left still hates them.
“WTF? Is she crazy?”
No just another clueless RINO, if I was running for office here in CA I wold probably say the same thing though, you just can’t get elected here if you’re not a tree hugging wacko or a minority. Man I wish I could get out of this nut house but my job keeps me here (for now).
no one in power votes to reduce it.
Hopefully they savaged her the same way they do every other politician who makes a mistake of appearing on their show.
If I still lived in Cali I wouldn’t vote for this idiot.
In all likelihood I will vote NO on Meg Whitman.
?
What is up with this woman?
Yeah...you could vote for the other one.
Not gonna get my vote. At least Jerry is an honest commie. This state is toast anyway.
Beats me. She straddles a fence as well as aRnold and V .. who were both ‘exuberant’ after the Prop. 8 pronouncement today.. maybe they can get married.
There is absolutely no reason to vote for her then.
She’s Arnold in a skirt.
I listened live. John and Ken had her so cornered on the fact that she says one thing in Spanish and something totally different in English. Get out of California while you can!
...your choices this fall: Liberal or Liberaler....
ping
Well, methinks she just lost the energy vote.
You can take that any way you want.
