Go Arnold!   "Coincidence" my A**!  lol

 Edited to fix link to the article

"The target may have been San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who had sponsored a bill that would have granted the Port of San Francisco expanded financing power to redevelop a former shipyard into a new neighborhood."

"Whether coincidence or smackdown, the phrase contained in Schwarzenegger's Oct. 12 veto message could be seen as retaliation for Ammiano's behavior during a local Democratic Party fundraiser earlier this month in San Francisco."

And while I too am no fan of the Gov who has run my home state into the toilet, you gotta admit he has some cojones! (and yes is juvenile)

While that's interesting, I still hate Governor Schwartzenegger.

I wonder what Assembly Bill 1176 was... *goes to google*

Okay, here's the measure.

AB 1176, as amended, Ammiano. Infrastructure financing districts:
City and County of San Francisco.
Existing law specifically authorizes the City and County of San
Francisco to create infrastructure financing districts, adopt
infrastructure financing plans for those districts, and issue bonds
financed by projected increases in ad valorem property taxes to fund
certain public facilities, pursuant to a specified procedure.
Existing property tax law establishes various procedures and
requirements with respect to the annual apportionment and allocation
of ad valorem property tax revenues, including increased revenues
from infrastructure financing districts.
This bill would recast these provisions authorizing the City and
County of San Francisco to create infrastructure financing districts
that include specified waterfront property. This bill would also
modify the procedures for San Francisco to adopt an infrastructure
financing plan, and allocate projected increases in ad valorem
property taxes to specified annual apportionments.

 

...and this elicited such a response?  I hope the "F You" was coincidental, because that hardly seems merited, and if it was purposeful, my governor is damned juvenile.

*facepalm*

The article stated that Ammiano heckled the Governer during a speech and then took the podium and attacked the Governer after the speech.  It didn't say in the article what Ammiano said, but from what I have heard from other sources, "F you" is mild in comparison.  Don't piss off the Governator

Whatever Ammiano said was probably true, although inappropriate to say in a public forum.

At least the Governator can't get elected to another term.  I, for one, am glad he's a lame duck.
