I'm guessing that the Dems are putting pressure on the Lame Duck Gov to veto this thing. If this goes to Initiative Recision, the Conservatives will come to the polls in Droves come November. Rush has been reporting that 47% of Californians drive SUVs or light trucks! California is still Reagan Country but they've been sittin' on their hand ever since Gov Wilson raised taxes during a recession! Go Simon- don't wimp out now!
I'm guessing that the Dems are putting pressure on the Lame Duck Gov to veto this thing.No pressure required- like I said on 7/1, I think this is a setup by the Dems for Grey to veto, so he can save the day for the "California family" and salvage his deeply troubled campaign.
7/1 post here
Heck, I could write the commercial he'll create from this slick maneuver. "When the California legislature acted irresponsibly in passing anti-SUV legislation, Governor Grey Davis stepped in and promptly vetoed the measure to keep the SUV affordable for the California family. Grey Davis- protecting Californians."
Excuse me while I go BARF!
Interesting point. If so, the Dems may be divided on this.
