In fairness to Schwarzenegger, he had an overwhelmingly Democrat legislature to work with, or try to work with.
He tried but the union machine in California (led by the teachers and SEIU) absolutely Willie Browned him
no Schwarzenegger was just bad news for this state...All you need to know about him was that he pardoned a man guilty of cold blooded murder just because the mans parents were his close friends. the guy is all about cronyism and some people being more special then others because who they are related to. Schwarzenegger was a fake republican and only claimed the title because it helped with his persona that he used to get people into his movies
