Schwarzenegger still has time to keep his promise to "blow up boxes in Sacramento", but I'm becoming less optimistic every day.

TOTAL RECALL

Schwarzenegger has that legacy thing going for him now. Appease as many as possible. ;-)

Statewide bullet train system... just what everyone in debt needs. An expensive boondoggle destined to become a perpetual money loser.

[hsalaw]

the train rail measure - and his three other proposals - require voter approval, and the window of opportunity to place them on the November general election ballot is closing fast

Interesting. In the last election, every single measure that required a tax increase of any nature went down to resounding defeat. Voters even defeated an increase in the cigarette tax, and California voters HATE smokers. So if Arnold thinks his pet train project is a shoo-in with the voters, he's probably wrong.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who promised not to sign any bills until lawmakers reach a budget deal, reversed his position today and signed a bill for a statewide bullet train system that he strongly supports.

I am very proud of myself that I did not vote for him. :)

This thing will be an astonishingly large waste of money. A rail project over hundreds of miles of sparsely populated portions of the state? It will make the urban light rail projects look like chump change.

Oh well, the illegal aliens need a cheap method of northward travel. :(

I’m fully expecting him to make exceptions on all the silly ammo/gun laws they’re trying to ram down our throats as well.
