Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's environmental track record has taken a fall since the Gov. first took office. Californians are disappointed with his performance on issues affecting the state's 1,264 mile coastline. Only 28% of the 2003 people surveyed approved the governor's performance as protector of the coast, while 47% disapproved. The issues were beach pollution, overfishing, and controlling urban runoff. Since 2003, Schwarzenegger formed the state's first Ocean Protection Council. It preserved 13 miles of coastline along the Heart Ranch in Central California. He also was strongly against the Bush Administration drill for more oil and gas in California's coast.
I couldn't quite figure out why the polls were so low considering the positive things that the Gov. has done. I think it is very important to protect the environment to premote a better life for the people that live in California. I also think that the Gov. took a very strong stance to not allow the Bush Admin. to drill for oil, but I question that in a way also. It would be wise to drill and use our own oil instead of relying on foreign oil.

Gov Schwarzenegger proposed $125.6 billion budget to help the structural deficit he said he would fix, which will leave the state more vulnerable in the stock market. This year, the state is going to spend $2.6 billion more than what it takes in. The plan could cut money that normally goes to education.
I think that the Gov. might want to rethink his proposal. Education feeds the minds of the children of tomorrow and they should never cut expenses in exchange for something else, regardless of what it is.
