Arnold is a professional at destroying jobs and the economy of California.
But, he is an amateur at lying.
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's legacy as the "green governor" looks to have gotten some goo in the works in his final days in office, when he signed off on a Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) plan that environmentalists assailed as gutting his Green Chemistry Initiative.
Environmentalists charge that the toxics department pulled a bait-and-switch last month, when DTSC slashed the proposed regulations by a third and put the onus of proving a new chemical is harmful on the already overstretched agency instead of on the chemical industry.
The governor's initiative, launched two years ago, was intended to protect Californians from toxins before and after they come to the marketplace in product form.
The enviros say the amended regulations won't remove toxic products from the shelves and will create "paralysis by analysis," as industries can litigate against DTSC over unfavorable department decisions."
Yes, Arnold IS the "green" Governor. He has sent California's "green (money/jobs) to other States in record numbers. I have heard that the Texas Chamber of Commerce is declaring Arnold as "Man of the Year". Maybe that is just a rumor. Even the Leftists enviros no longer think Arnold is honest.
