Except Arnie bled $300 million out of the unions!
"Arnie bled $300 million out of the unions."
Yeah, but they can always get it back. They'll just raise their dues again.
There is no way to put lipstick on this pig. Because there ain't gonna be a "next time." There will be no money for conservative reform initiatives again in California. We probably won't even get the signatures. Arnold may or may not be re-elected. If he is, he won't be able to do a damned thing except make the state fall apart a little more slowly. I'm no longer sure it matters.
There's no greater silver lining than that. They've spent 3 years worth of future dues, the CTA has even mortaged their headquarter's building in Sacremento.
