Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger (GAS) sucks Gennee. He likely signed the two bills he did to make himself feel better for neglecting our transgender brothers and sisters. While I am thrilled that we now have a Harvey Milk Day and that those married out of state before Nov 4th will be considered 'married' by California, it is horrendous that GAS fails to see the importance of protections for transgendered people. The "Ts" are always left in the dust!
The havoc GAS has wreaked with state employees is unbelievable. He has created immense burdens on state workers by furloughing the majority for 3 days a month. People have lost their houses, cars, child care ability, etc. All to supposedly save the state money, but in reality saves very little and in many cases has costed the state far more than saved. The cuts to those agencies which aren't furloughed (those under other elected officials, one of which is where I work) have had budget cuts so deep, we are basically barely operating. So ineffective as to almost warrant closure. It's our punishment for not being furloughed (which could actually still happen, if additional cuts are mandated).
Of course there are a multitude of other crimes he is committing. He needs to be gone and fast before CA becomes a third world 'country'.
