Always had to laugh at the argument against 37, it will cost to much.In other words, the Governments have taken so much from citizens, it will go broke trying to make restitution. Lesson: DON`T STEAL SO MUCH

November 1, 2006 By Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

In Oregon, where a similar measure was passed in 2004, more than 2,600 claims have been filed seeking more than $6 billion in compensation. Many of these claims are unfounded and from speculators simply looking to cash in on the public's dime.

Dear Professor Galles,

Please advise Governor Schwarzenegger. He appears to have been misled on this very basic issue.

Thanks,

Schwarzenegger: "I have carefully analyzed this measure, however, and have come to the conclusion I cannot support Prop 90. . . . The measure is so broad and poorly drafted that I fear it will result in a barrage of frivolous lawsuits . . . In Oregon, where a similar measure was passed in 2004, more than 2,600 claims have been filed seeking more than $6 billion in compensation. Many of these claims are unfounded and from speculators simply looking to cash in on the public's dime."
