Prop. 89 opposition is a 'favor' to donors
By Donovan Steutel, Letter to the Editor
Thanks, Steve Lopez, for speaking to the governor on behalf
of the 99% of us who aren't campaign donors.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger claims that he's never been
influenced by a donation and that he doesn't do favors for
his donors. But his opposition to Proposition 89 [the
"clean money" reform plan] is a huge favor to his campaign
donors. The $22,300 thank-you notes are already flooding
into Sacramento.
Nobody believes his flimsy premise that he's opposed to the
measly cost of "clean money" while fully supporting
hundreds of times' more spending in his various bond
measures.
