Back to His Old Ways

The image makeover that the Governor’s office launched on Monday didn’t last long. In fact, at a “state event” in Redding the Governor did a complete 180 and went back on the attack.

According to the Associated Press, before hitting a couple of campaign fundraisers, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger dropped off ceremonial checks to city and county officials in Redding and then trotted out his new and improved campaign rhetoric.

“This is what the campaign is all about,” said Schwarzenegger at a sparsely attended press conference at the Redding City Hall “Let’s make the state live within its means.”

The Governor later added:

“Every time the big spenders in Sacramento get into trouble what do they do? They raise taxes and steal money from local government.” (Associated Press, “Schwarzenegger Testing Campaign Waters” - July 28, 2005)

Glad to see our taxpayer dollars hard at work paying for another campaign event for the Governor…
