Newsmax on Schwarzenegger: Lawmakers Protecting Unions
California’s Democratic-led Legislature is putting union interests over taxpayers’ well-being, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Thursday as the state prepared to issue IOUs for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The Republican governor said Democrats have resisted reforms he believes must be part of solving the state’s $26.3 billion shortfall.
“It steps on the turf of the people they want to protect,” Schwarzenegger said during a press conference in Los Angeles. “At some point, it has to be Judgment Day. Who do we protect?”
