Gov. Schwarzenegger Applauds California Voters for Defeating Proposition 23

Statement

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after California voters defeated Proposition 23:

"The effort to suspend AB 32 was the work of greedy Texas oil companies that wanted nothing more than to keep polluting our state. Today, California voters saw through the smokescreen of these dirty oil companies and rejected their attempts to move our state backwards.

"In California, we are going to continue moving forward with our comprehensive energy policy that creates jobs, reduces our reliance on foreign oil and ensures the California we love will be the California we hand over to the next generation.

"Bold and innovative policies like AB 32 have made California a world leader in renewable energy, green jobs and environmental protection."
