Surprise: Schwarzenegger Uses 'Drought' Announcement to Promote Canal, Dams

A broad coalition oppose the peripheral canal because it would inevitably result in the increased diversion of Delta water to corporate agribusiness and southern California.

Schwarzenegger made today's statement as he took a break from staging yet another corporate greenwashing opportunity to falsely cast himself as the "Green Governor" to supposedly highlight the "wide range of alternative fuel vehicles" that will be on display at the 2009 L.A. Auto Show.

As Schwarzenegger promotes his water bond and canal to indebt Californians for many years to come in an egregious case of financial irresponsibility, he has apparently failed to pay his own taxes!

"The Internal Revenue Service has filed a federal tax lien against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for nearly $80,000, public records show," according to the LA Times on November 27. "The lien was filed May 11 at the Los Angeles County recorder's office for $79,064, according to a record in an electronic database that includes lien filings. The record does not indicate what property the lien was placed on, but it lists the debtor as Arnold Schwarzenegger with the governor's home address in Brentwood."
