Gov. Schwarzenegger: TABOR is my kind of budget mandate
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights during a joint appearance with Gov. Bill Ritter, according to The Denver Post, saying: “In Colorado, you don’t have these problems. You have a spending limit and a rainy-day fund and all those other things.”
As reporter John Ingold pointed out in his report, the governor’s comments — though they make sense in light of California’s budget woes — had a tint of irony at the joint appearance: “Ritter has been outspoken about the need to untangle the fiscal policy knots in Colorado — including the ones Schwarzenegger apparently just endorsed.”
