|  Arnold doesn't legislate laws; wrong target of ire
Guess what, the governor does not write the laws in California - the legislature does. And pro-industry(not anti-consumer) legislation like state wide franchising was passed in a bi-partisan manner by the legislature. And the $50,000 mentioned didn't go to Arnold but went to a committee supporting removing term caps on legislators.

Yeah, I guess calling things by their pros rather than cons makes for a happy picture. |

Pro-industry and pro-consumer aren't opposites unless a Democrat &/or populist is running for office and is pretending to be a champion of the people.

Sorry, but the interests of consumers and industry rarely are the same. What is good for the consumer often is not good for industry and vice versa. Nice try though. |

Guess what, the governor does not write the laws in California - the legislature does. But he does have to approve them... So, while he might not write them, he does have an important role in the legislative process and that can be called into question when his office's actions are looked at in light of the money he has received from lobbyists and campaign supporters. |

Typically biased reporting
Although the underlying, linked stories make it clear that the DEMOCRAT controlled legislature was bought and paid for, the article finds a way to slam the REPUBLICAN Governor over old news about who is/was on the PUC.
Sheesh, we know you're biased, but couldn't you at least TRY to be a little less blatant about it?

Re: Arnold doesn't legislate laws; wrong target of ire
The issue with Ahnold was more like the last bastion (given the veto power) in blocking Telcos from doing even more of "whatever the f we want".
It's clear most the Senate Democrats were bought out by the telcos long ago. The lack of consumer protection, and corporate adulation has long become tiresome. |
