A notice of intent has been filed to recall California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The governor has been the subject of controversy when it comes to issues such as prisons, water and environment. According to petition organizer Edwin T. Snell, “Arnold Schwarzenegger does no longer represent the interest of the people and has betrayed the trust of the voters. Schwarzenegger initiatives on prisons, water and the environment has been a complete disaster.”
Snell has gathered the 50 required signatures for his notice of intent to circulate the recall petition.[1]
A second petition began circulation when Secretary of State Debra Bowen approved it on May 15, 2009 The effort is being spearheaded by John D. Fusek, who represents the group, Taxpayers United to Recall Governor Schwarzenegger.
The petition wording follows: “The governor promised to reduce state spending and reform state government. Instead, he increased spending by over 40%, benefiting public sector unions and special interests, at the expense of taxpayers.... The governor promised to help encourage job creation by reducing costly regulation. Instead he passed more job-killing mandates that are destroying California jobs and opportunity. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger must be held accountable for worsening the lives of California taxpayers, voters and families.”
The group has until October 22, 2009 to gather more than one million signatures from registered voters for the recall to make the ballot.[2]
