Governor Schwarzenegger was sworn into office yesterday. He wasted no time in issuing his first executive order. As he had promised, Schwarzenegger issued an executive order repealing the $4 billion increase in car taxes approved by former Governor Davis. While this action was given cheers by most constituents, it left some politicians in shock.
According to today’s Californian, Salinas City Manager Mora had planned to ask the City Council at today's meeting to oppose just such an action from the new governor but will instead have to deal with the ramifications of the decision.
Heh. You have to admire someone who hits the ground running and leaves his opposition in the dust.
Nah, that last line should read:
You have to admire someone who hits the ground like a RUNNING MAN and leaves his PREDATOR opponents thinking they got a RAW DEAL from some sort of political COMMANDO!
Kolibri,
California's entire financial infrastructure needs a major overhaul. I have no strong feelings about the car tax issue per se; it is a minor part of a major problem. However, I will always applaud a politician who quickly does what he promised to do when he ran for office even if I disagree with the specific action. I wish more politicians would keep their promises.
Khobrah - lol - I actually did use the phrase running man in my draft before rewriting it...
I'll spare my admiration for the day where he actually reduces the deficit. Increasing it is the easy part.
