This was an anti-business bill, that the socialist CA Legislature passed and thankfully Arnold vetoed.

Much as I'm irritated with Schwarzenegger's stance on some issues like global warming, at least he's vetoing some of the crap. If Phil Angelides were in office, he'd be signing every left-wing fantasy they could put in front of him.

Arnold has fairly good business sense.
He's bad on social stuff (probably because his wife is whispering in his ear), but the fiscal stuff may be more important in CA right now.

Under other circumstances Wal-mart bashing could become a bipartisan consensus. Think two words: "Global Warming."

Glad to hear this.
Walmart is a godsend to military families especially.

Arnold has made a few good choices recently. Good for him.

I think was Schwarzenegger does is build up his "chips" by approving broad appeal legislations and then cashes them in via veto on these narrow legislations.
Shrewd!

to prepare reports for local officials on the effect of proposed superstores on existing retailers in the same market. Simple, just say they want to crush the competition through lower prices, better hours and better service.

I live in CA and I don't give a crap about "social stuff".
You live your life and I'll live mine.
I am thrilled that he vetoed this bill.
If Arnold does nothing for the next four years except veot idiot bills, that's fine with me.

I had no idea that there was anti-WalMart legislation going on in California. I'm not suprised, but I just didn't know about it.

Walmart is a godsend to military families especially. Stories like this must make some folks heads explode. They're pro-business but anti-China, they like Walmart's stand on RU486 but hate Walmart's "homosexual agenda"...

Arnold gets it. Good for him.
He has been making many good moves and especially shows the difference between Arnold and the Twit running against him.

I have some friends in Northern California who are anti Wal*Mart because they say it competes with their friends small shops and also a few local friends in Southern California who don't like it because they work for unions and they are told not to shop there.
I will shop there anyway. Glad he had the sense to veto it.
