I don't see why any of this is Scwarzenegger's fault, Grayout Davis certainly didn't have to pay for his residence. And $6000 per month actually seems fairly cheap when you take into account what a true governor's mansion plus household staff and upkeep would cost.

Let Arnie be. He's doing the job we sent him there for and if he actually likes to live out of a hotel instead of a residence, well, that's his business. Leave him alone.

Just across the street from the office should save on limo bills.

I simply can't imagine the stress on a mega millionaire having to endure a $6000/mo. hotel suite. Must be horrific.

There is no governor's mansion in Sacramento
How is this possible in a state that wastes money on everything else, never bothers to build an executive residence? California must be about the only state in the union NOT to have a govenors mansion.

The old Governor's mansion on 16th street is a museum now if I recall correctly. The governor needs a house.

It's not Arnie's fault. The Reagan residence was fine, but as I recall, Jerry Brown refused to live there and let it go out of state control. Just goes to show how far south this state has gone.

Plus, he's not taking a salary. When you consider the fact that he isn't making any movies while in office and his wife is no longer working, my guess is that the Scwarzeneggers are giving up at least $10 million a year in income while he is in office. Now I realize that many politicians take pay cuts to serve, there is absolutely no reason that a state the size of California doesn't have a governor's mansion. Now the left is blaming him for not paying more than he wanted to pay (with his own money), for a house that the state government was supposed to have bought over thirty years ago.

Agreed. It's embarrassing for California, the state of rolling blackouts and homeless governors.

I don't think the "look what Arnold is missing in income" argument is going to be very persuasive. He is rich enough to NEVER worry about income again. He became governor of California as a new challenge. Making money is no longer much of a challenge to someone as rich as he is.
I think the governator could rent the biggest house in Sacramento without much of a dent in his budget.
The early Presidents of the United States had to PAY THEIR OWN STAFF'S SALARIES IF THEY WANTED PAID HELP AROUND!

To: NoControllingLegalAuthority
California's crisis was the result of fiscal irresponsibility, the fact that Arnold CAN afford to pay for his own residence doesn't mean he SHOULD pay for it. Picking up the tab for the state because he can afford it doesn't make the state become responsible, that is just another form of what Grayout Davis tried to get the federal government to do. California can have a thriving economy, but it will never happen if they keep looking for handouts. For what it's worth, I don't think very many of us would be happy living in a hotel room for over a year.

Jerry Brown didn't live in the governor's mansion. Nancy Reagan WOULD not live there. This seems to be an ongoing condition!

Nancy could not live in the governor's mansion because it was broken down. Jerry Brown did not live there (that was before the Reagans) ... but the mansion was supposedly so broken down in the Reagan years that it was essentially unlivable.
