The Governator at Work
From the state budget : http://www.cdcan.us/budget/2007-2008/FullBudgetSummary.pdf
- I am vetoing $15,000,000 General Fund on a one-time basis for maintenance at state parks.
- For support of State Air Resources Board. I reduce this item from $174,541,000 to $154,541,000.
- I am deleting the $20,000,000 legislative augmentation for construction equipment grants that would be funded by increasing vehicle-related fees charged to the citizens of California. This proposal would carve out one industry, construction, for a state subsidy to comply with proposed air quality regulatory requirements. (grants were to be made available to help the construction industry phase out polluting equipment)
And on and on. Used to be the Terminator would kill you with a shotgun blast to the face, now he just kills you with a thousand little cuts.
