2. He only has until next year and then he's termed out. (nt)

3. There are two problems here

1) the information in this article is very thin.

2) the special election for tax increases where the most regressive taxes ever known to man. Those taxes were a joke.

Which public union are we talking about here. The biggest state unions are the Prison Guard Union, The Teacher's Unions, Fireman's Union or the Nurse's Union.

btw: California has been spending two times more on law enforcement, prisons, and courts than on education starting in the 1990's.

4. He's leaving because he supported the GOP position on budget cuts.

I think that he's a likely a hot head with an ego problem. He got booted from a committee because he had no party discipline, so he's throwing a tantrum. Luckily he's termed out, and we don't really need him anyway.

5. Is California still there? I thought it went out of business.

Why else would it have a Terminator for a governor?
