Supporters ante up big bucks for ballot

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger boosters already have spent more than $23 million on November's special election, with millions more on the way for what he has called his reform initiatives.

Financial reports filed Monday with the California secretary of state show that the governor's California Recovery Team, which serves as Schwarzenegger's political arm, spent more than $11 million between Jan. 1 and June 30, the deadline for the midyear report. Citizens to Save California, which was formed by Schwarzenegger's backers to support his initiative plans, pumped another $12 million into the effort.

On the other side, the labor-backed Alliance for a Better California spent $10.1 million to oppose Schwarzenegger's plan and qualify a pair of its own measures.

2. gerrymandering should be indefensible
Some comprehensive voting reform would fix it, not that that will ever happen.
