OPINION: Arnold the CO2-hysteric

Untitled Page

Remember now that Schwarzenegger's whole shtick -- ah, Hollywood -- was that he would be a cost-cutting governor. But now, two years later, California's economy is in freefall, and AB 32 will simply add to the misery. The costs of meeting those emissions targets will be hideous, and they will come only after Arnold has decamped and returned to Hollywood, where playing a part calls for no responsibility, and making money at the box office harms no taxpayers. In other words, he'll be long gone when the damage he's caused becomes apparent.
