The spokesman confirmed the essence of Ron Prince's statements regarding the effect of the urgency clause vis-a-vis when it goes into law and how we'd have to get rid of it.

Thanks for the input. Can you clarify the last phrase? Who is "we". Is the Governor in favor of the urgency clause, or was Schwarzenegger included in the "we" category?

Arguing or trying to entrap the guy who answered the phone didn't seem like either wise or useful. Even John and Ken (KFI Los Angeles) can't get an official statement on this. I simply asked a few questions and then said I was opposed to any bills giving DLs to IAs.

As for the "we," that means those opposed to any such bills. Whether Arnold is a member of "we" or not remains to be seen. Also on the John and Ken show today, Tom McClintock suggested giving Schwarzenegger the benefit of the doubt.

My mind was made up before calling Arnold's office; based on newspaper reports, Arnold appears to be willing to sign a bill like this. That may prove to be incorrect but being safe is better than being sorry.
