Don’t Piss Off Governor Schwarzenegger!
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008As we wrote about in our post ‘ Trestles Saved By California Coastal Commission! ‘, the Governator was handed a major defeat last month when the California Coastal Commission voted to protect San Onofre State Beach and the San Mateo campground and rejected plans for the 241 Foothill-South Toll Road through the parks, which the Gov had supported.
Well, I guess Arnold got pissed and last week he booted his brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver, and actor Clint Eastwood off a state parks commission that also voted to oppose the controversial toll road.
This may make thinks tough around the Schwarzenegger/Shriver household during the holidays this year! I hope Arnold thought this one through as Maria may withhold a little something-something from her boy Arnold for firing her bro….
Shriver and Eastwood served salary-free on the State Park and Recreation Commission which is charged with approving plans for California’s parks and recommending ways to protect and develop the system.
I guess these guys had a brain and felt the same as many residents that putting a 6 lane toll road through a beautiful and much-used state park was a bad idea… but not the Governator!
Shriver said he was bummed that he could no longer work to protect our park system from developers and said, “It shows you how strong these developers were that were able to arm-wrestle the governor into firing us”.
Who’s the girly-man now, Arnold?!?
