An interesting veto

A law was passed in California recently stating that when the signature process is happening for initiatives on the propositions we are usually bombarded with (such as the many in our $20 million dollar special election) there would be information on them on who the major contributors are.

This would make sense since usually at that point no one knows anything about the propositions and the people who sponsor them.

Our fine governor Arnie instead of signing that bill into law vetoed it for the following reason: "The bill attacks the initiative process and makes to more difficult for the people of California to gather signatures and qualify measures for the ballot."

One of the things Arnie refused to say is HOW it would make it more difficult to gather signatures. The bill would not close anyplace to gather signatures nor would it prevent anyone who wants to sign it from doing so.

All the bill would do was let voters know who is paying the petition circulator who is asking them to sign it in and out of the store. It would at least provide a clue about the real stakes of a proposed initiative.

Makes you wonder where Arnie's loyalties really are.
