In Union There Is Strength

Ah-nold has, to no one's surprise, announced he will run for re-election. But that's next year's news. Here in California, we've got a special election this November 8 to deal with.

Among other things, there'll be propositions dealing with public employee union dues and school spending. Needless to say, this is giving the unions conniptions.

The teachers and the public employees are among the most powerful groups in this state and they are flexing their muscles. For months we have been inundated with ads, every day, everywhere, where they complain that the Guv has been stealing money from them. And there's almost no pro-Guv ads anywhere. All this months before the election.

I can understand why they're unhappy. Our teachers are the highest paid public teachers in the country. And though our schools may not be number #1, we do (though very few seem to know this) spend over half our gigantic budget on education.

And the rest of the public workers have plenty to worry about as well. They are, once again, the highest paid in the nation.

Who wants to drop to number two? So with their enormous war chest, it's important to outspend opponents by huge ratios to complain how they're being cheated (not will be cheated--are being cheated right now).

I expect this strategy to work, and neither Arnold nor any governor in the near-future will be able to stand up to these groups.
