Sacramento -- A group of Democratic Latino lawmakers rejected an endorsement of Gov. Gray Davis' re-election campaign Friday, angered about the governor's veto of a measure that would have allowed illegal immigrants to get a driver's license.

Another good find John, keep it up.
I wonder what the ramifications are going to be for vetoing this, these latino activists stick togeather like glue. Just another special interest for dAvis to suck up to.
These series of gubernatorial vetos may well be the most meaningful contribution that Simon makes to California politics. I doubt any of the other candidates could have forced Davis to abandon the fringe left for a time.
If Simon accomplishes no more than to force these vetos I am appreciative of his contribution.
Bully for Gray Davis.
