that would help fund human embryonic stem cell research in the State of California is shrewd -- a very shrewd economic move for California!
Each state, state-by-state has this option: shall it pick up corporate benefit (including employment) for medical research w/i its state borders? Some states have opted to do so, California is one and California is going further by opting for this extensive funding.
Arnie is on the correct side in this issue. Arnie has listened to his wife Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger whose father Sargent Shriver is suffering from the beginnings of Alzheimer's Disease.

As a resident of Massachusetts, whose state is in competition with California in many economic areas, I believe our own Governor Mitt Romney should also do similar as does Governor Schwartzenegger in his $3 billion bond proposal . . . but for one minor issue: Mitt Romney is a devout Mormon, a past bishop w/i his faith and leader of the Mormon faith in the northeast; thus, I strongly doubt, sadly, that Romney will put his political clout into an area that is opposed to his religious beliefs.
