Unfortunately our current veto-happy governor would sooner see benefits for children, the needy, and the poor cut to absolute zero before allowing past any policy that isn't staunchly conservative. If we're $26 billion in debt and he's striking down tax increases, this has absolutely no chance of ever becoming law.
- rottencupcakes 17y agoThat's absolutely false. He's veto happy because raising taxes during a recession is the dumbest possible thing a government attemping to restart the economy could do. The government has to cut spending along with the rest of us. In response to your issue, I see no reason why he would be opposed to legalizing weed, especially when it provides extra tax money which could be used to close the budget deficit. He's a lame duck - it's not like he's afraid of getting flak from righteous social conservatives who are opposed at this point in time. He even says here that a debate is needed: http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/05/06/Schwarzenegger-Marijuana-debate-is-needed/UPI-82621241635254/ http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/05/06/Schwarzenegger-Mariju...
