As Arnold tours the California
Environmental Protection Agency this morning to tout his "Green
Building" initiative, the Gov should be challenged over which type of
green he really cares about.
Developers and real estate interests have given Schwarzenegger over $6
million in campaign contributions and his Administration is working to
deliver on one of developers’ biggest dreams — removing rules under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which requires that
the impact on the environment be considered before developers break
ground.
Schwarzenegger paints himself as a "Green Republican." If the hummer
wasn’t enough to betray that image, his attack on CEQA on behalf of
Arnold’s biggest contributors shows the green the Gov cares most about
is builders’ bucks.
