Schwarzenegger has an impressive record, destpite what the disinformation his detractors try to spread.

So a Chief Executive CAN veto a bill? Interesting.

I like Schwarznegger. He may not be everyone's Republican, but he's the best we've had here in California for a long, long time.

Our CPA said that these 230+ vetoes have save California Tax payers billions of $ this year and each year on out.

He signed almost all of the Sierra Club backed bills and a majority of the GLBT bills (giving most rights of married people to gay couples). He certainly impressed me--two years in a row--by proposing and signing budgets with record-breaking spending increases and unprecedented borrowing. In 2 years of budgets, he has failed to wield his line-item-veto power, vetoing less that 0.2% of spending. From the North County Times, today:

The governor has used the line-item veto 133 times in the past two years, cutting $435,322 in spending.

Yep--quite impressive.

I think, on balance, and especially for CA, Arnold has been a remarkable governor. He is in a death struggle with the unions, and nothing less than California's future as anything other than an illegal immigrant receptiicle hangs in the balance.
