Don't you remember some of the email and internet taxes that were being proposed by him???? Do you realize how much commercial space is taxed in california? California has some of the highest taxes were business is concerned...that drove businesses out of Ca. I will admit that pete wilson did a number on the energy thing, but davis didn't do shit to stop it and I wouldn't be surprised if he benefited from it either.
Additionally, and this is just an example...I'm not necessarily for arnold to early to tell...but Arnie made off his most recent movie roughly the same amount of money that davis spent on his campaign...I know where arnie gets his cash...what about davis?
Its hard to objectively solve the problems of a battered state when you've got to repay campaign contributuions through your legislative actions.
At least Buffet comes in the Schwarzenegger package...

First, the new govenor does not get to see the actual real budget and state spending until after he/she is in office. When he ran with his planned budget and no additional taxes he had false info provided by another party. Reality did not hit until he got the real figures.
Davis tried to get federal help and price caps on the energy raping. Mr. Bush said nope. Funny how he wants to help those other states with grid issues now eh?
Arnie is also meeting with lobyists ect. Said he wouldnt, no special interests ect.
