A quick search at OpenSecrets for Zanoli, Chizen and de Geus indicate that other recent beneficiaries of these gentleman's support include Dick Gephardt, John Kerry, Al Gore, Zoe Lofgren, among other fine democrats. I don't think Arnold had too much trouble convincing these folks about his bond.... anything to support more Sacramento spending.

looks kind a harmonic convergence thing may be going on..
Why borrow extra billions when you don't need to? We could borrow half that and do just fine with some cuts cuts cuts ..
For criminy, in a few weeks WE could be another 50-60 billion in the hole after all the bonds kick in,, so we can build and sustain more schools (to teach who kids that are not of this country originally ?-) ..
You have the excessive spending issue which is not being addressed and add nothing being done about illegal immigration and its associated costs.
WE pay exorbitant salaries to bureaucrats in redundant agencies destined to go on to nice pensions courtesy of the state ...
No matter how much lipstick ya slap on this pig,, it still goes "oink" :-\
