Governor draws ire of GOP

By Edward Barrera, Staff Writer
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

Local legislators know that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to move to the left politically this year but they don't know just how far left. The answer to that question will begin to be answered today during the governor's State of the State address in Sacramento.

Republican legislators have already braced themselves for the governor to push an ambitious agenda such as a multibillion-dollar infrastructure bond, minimum wage increase and a hike in education spending, but they hope fiscal responsibility will not be thrown to the wayside.

Schwarzenegger is up for re-election in November.

After the special election, the governor immediately struck a conciliatory stance, reaching out to opponents who had vilified him days before. Among the governor's proposals already disclosed are increasing the minimum wage from $6.75 to $7.75 over two years, boosting the education budget by $4.3 billion, freezing higher education fees and introducing the infrastructure bond.

1. Buh-bye, Arnold!

And good riddance! Everything you do is stage managed to enhance your ego and your power. You can't reach your nadir too soon.

3. I could be wrong, but I just don't see him even running next time

And, if by chance he does...it looks like he's going to get his flabby butt handed to him.
