CALIFORNIA DEPT. OF SELF-PROMOTING POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS (SPPC)

One would think that Governor’s political operation and its myriad of committees would be able organize and staff a campaign event without the continued assistance of taxpayer- funded state employees.

Let me guess, I’m sure that the Governor’s state-funded communications and press staff used their lunch breaks today to help carry in some bags of signatures at the Sacramento County Registrar’s office.

The Governor’s committees have raised millions of dollars to pay an army of consultant and flacks to run the propaganda machine for Schwarzenegger’s flawed initiative agenda.

If Citizens to Save California is paying campaign staffers, like spokesman Reed Dickens, $13,000 a month, (WOW! We thought that people made a killing off the Checchi campaign) then why do we continue to see political campaign events staffed with state PIO’s?

Last year’s Schwarzenegger issued a travel ban during his first months in office to save money for the budget. This year’s Schwarzenegger has no problem having the taxpayers of California footing the bill for campaign events designed to highlight his own political agenda?

Is it ignorance or is it the continued arrogance of the Schwarzenegger Administration?
