In response to Gov. Schwarzenegger’s agreement with environmentalists in not allowing the U.S. to drill for oil offshore, I remind the governor that the best way to grow our economy is bring new money into the state.
It seems Democrats only know how to tax the very companies that can do this for California, and force them to move jobs out of the state.
When the governor was asked how he planned to work with Democrats, he did not tell us that his method was to capitulate.
Governor, we have a shortfall. Oil brings new monies into our state, and makes many new jobs for us. Please don’t tell us about the oil spill that happened 40 years ago. There is more oil seepage off our coast than ever.
I suggest we look into all the technology and the new safety measures we now have. Stop giving in to the tax-and-spend Democrats, so we don’t think of you as a “girly man.”
