Arnie's dinner bill feeds opponents

[kskiska]

All major credit cards are accepted. Four photographs of yourself and the governor are included. And you can bring three friends.

For $100,000 (£54,000), Californians are being invited to dinner with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The less extravagant may wish to consider the $10,000 option, although they should be aware that this entitles them only to a single photograph of the governor and no seat at the top table.

The seats are on sale for four events scheduled for the coming months by Citizens to Save California, a group set up to raise money for the governor's latest legislative wheeze: a $50m campaign to place some of his concerns before voters in a special election this year under California's "initiative" system.

But the fundraising has caused a political storm and led to the first meaningful protests against the governor.
