Moonbats To The Left – Conservatives To The Right
Ahhnold is learning that being a “moderate” (sometimes believing in socialism and other times rejecting it) is not all it is cracked up to be. In the end you get the left pissed off at you and you get those on the right pissed at you as well.
Right now the prison guard union is pissed and seeking his recall after Gov. Schwarzenegger ordered salaries cut when he and the vastly more liberal legislature could not come to agreement on a budget.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California’s prison guard union said on Monday it will seek the recall of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after he ordered a pay cut for its members amid the state’s protracted budget deadlock.
“We’re going to move it as quickly as possible,” union spokesman Lance Corcoran said of efforts to launch a referendum to remove the Republican governor, who entered office in 2003 after a recall election of then-Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat.
Corcoran said a recall measure would likely end up on a special-election ballot next year rather than on the upcoming November ballot. The California Correctional Peace Officers Association must collect the signatures of more than 1 million registered voters to qualify the measure, according to the California Secretary of State’s office.
“This is a governor that has been a complete failure,” Corcoran charged.
Schwarzenegger’s term ends in 2010 and he can not run again.
The 30,000-plus-member union has long been at odds with Schwarzenegger, but his order in July to cut the pay of prison guards to the minimum wage sparked their latest confrontation.
Aw, poor Ahhhnold. See, you try and do something good and rein in spending and this is what you get for it. No word on whether or not the prison guard union will also seek to recall those legislators that are causing problems by continually spending money on things government has no business spending money on yet.
