Arnold will NOT move to Sacramento

[CoffeePlease1947]

Instead he is going to live in San Bernadeno and travel by his private jet to the capitol when he needs to.

I hope the state legislature requires that he live in the same city as the rest of the government. What next, Bush besides to live in Crawford? Gimma break. Don't want the job, resign.

Mike

[Noordam]

1. I hear the Governor Manson is not that good in CA

you would not expect the Gropinator to live there would you. Beside Pete Wilson already to move in.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. We don't have a Governor's Manson.

Davis lives part time here in West Hollywood and also has a place in Sacramento.

This really isn't news.

[Capn Sunshine]

28. But NOT living in the Capital?

How is he going to accomplish anything hiding in a bubble?

oh, wait...........

[La_Serpiente]

2. He probably

doesn't want to get tanning oil on the Italian Furniture (David letterman with Davis as a guest).

Anyhow, I don't know how he is going to do it. He is going to have to stay there for the legislative session.

[livinontheedge]

3. The woman in Sacramento can relax.

The less time Arnold spends in Sacramento, the fewer Sacramento woman will be groped.

[CoffeePlease1947]

4. I was hoping the women in LA could relax

I would rather have him grope the members of the state legislature instead. Some of them need groping. Particularly the old fat balding Republican men.

Mike

[Jivenwail]

5. Unfortunatley (and I hate to say this, but...)

California voted for him, they get what they voted for. A selfish, sanctimonious piece of garbage who tells the capital city it's not good enough for him to reside in. Piss on him.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

7. Should'nt he be there in Sacramento everyday ?

Last time I checked , Sacramento was the state capitol or was that recalled as well .

[AP]

8. He got fewer votes than No-Anyone Else and No-Arnold, which means he

came in second place in the election. So, I don't think CA'ians really wanted him as much as should have been required to win the election.

[SCDem]

6. San Bernadino is majority Republican

that is why he wants to stay there. Just like Bush, Arnold will spend his time being Govinator in a bubble. The same day Bush came out to visit Arnold and give his little pony show in San Bernadino a soldier from San Bernadino died in Iraq.... I pointed this out to my ignorant/Arnold voting ex-step father and he said "Oh". There was no mention of this by Arnold or Bush.

[KFC]

25. I heard he is moving to Compton

Like the others said, no one voluntarily moves to San Bernadino. I believe you are making this shit up.

[realFedUp]

9. San Bernadino ?

Is this from the Onion.com?

No one, especially a celebrity, moves to
San Berdoo......

I can't see Maria moving to SB especially
with children in school and her career
in television.

[realFedUp]

10. I repeat...San Bernadino?

come on....

[ronnykmarshall]

18. Yeah , what's up with that?

I could see him going back and forth to LA, or like Davis have a place in Sacto as well.

San Berdo? That's even further than LA! Guess that's where he keeps all his stable of groupies to grope.

[cheapbeemr]

45. Exactly

S.B. is a white-trash, open-air insane asylum. Probably the crystal meth capitol of the world.

[DBoon]

57. Well that explains it

Sounds like the perfect place for Arnold, he should fit right in.

[ShaneGR]

24. I'll bet you money why he lives there

He probably owns a 100 acre estate with a 20 million dollar house.
Think about it, old Governors mansion or 20 million dollar mansion.

[fob]

27. Isn't that where raygun has a ranch?

We may be seeing a setup for 2008, with Orrin Hatch and his Arnie for prez amendment.

[Clete]

37. Raygun had a ranch in Santa Barbara, a hundred miles

north of Los Angeles. He and Nancy now live in Bel-Air, close to where Arnie and Maria live until now.

[Clete]

35. I grew up in San Bernardino and couldn't wait to leave

when I finished high school. I never went back. One of my teachers called it a little corner of purgatory. It gets really hot too and the smog is worse than LA. I'm sure Maria is going to love it, or maybe, she'll go crazy like my mother did at times. It will be interesting to see how two of the glitterati, who are accustomed to the trendy jet set of the westside of LA, survive in the stifling conservative social set of good ole SB. They use liberals for target practice there and Arnold is liberal in every way except with money.

[CMT]

11. well he doesn't want his duties as governor interfer with his career

as a groper.

[ShavedBeard]

12. NC Governor

NC Governor Mike Easley (D) didn't move into the Governors mansion after being inagurated. Its not a requirement of office as far as I know.

[realFedUp]

17. No it's not a requirement where you live but

most elected officials actually move into the
same town as the where legislature is....especially if
it runs the 5th largest economy in the world.

San Bernadino? Do you guys know where that is...
it's in Southern California..in the boondocks...
a smog filled conservative farm area...

I still think this is a rumor on the Onion.

[nolabels]

46. Yea, I know where it is, I live right below it in Riverside County

I used to be Farm and Wine country, now a lot of the western part is burbs. I have live out here 18 years and 26 before behind the Orange Curtain (City of Orange, Orange County,Ca.). This whole LA basin was all once dried up worthless desert, now some parts are even worse.

Song: A Horse With No Name
Artist: America
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings


The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound


{Refrain}
I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert your can remember your name
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(la la la...)


After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a riverbed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead


You see...
{Refrain}


After nine days I let the horse run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love


You see, ...
(Refrain)

[salin]

20. Did he live in the area of the capital?

Arnie is going to live nowhere NEAR Sacramento. He is only going to fly in 'when needed'.

So I guess California government isn't quite the trainwreck he depicted as he only needs to be a partly present Governor.

Oh - he needs to be on the coast to assist with 12 months of fundraising for W. Priorities, ya know...

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Hmmmm.....

traveling by "small aircaft", eh? Encouraging.

[pfitz59]

14. San Bernadino?

Smog central? Maybe he lives near Big Bear, in the San Bernadino Mountains? He should be forced to live in "Suck-a-tomato", especically in August! Guess Arnie wants to be part-time Governator, just like Chimpy is part-time Pretzeldent!

[radwriter0555]

23. His girls go to school in Brentwood/Palisades, and their horses

are near Benedict Canyon. There is no way his family will live anywhere away from the school and horses. The girls are champion riders.

[Paragon]

15. "The Governor's Mansion" is a museum, people

Not to defend Gov. Grabass, but...

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/recall/20030809-2224-ca-davisrecall.html

Los Angeles porn actress Mary "Mary Carey" Cook, wearing a low-cut black dress, said she would install a Webcam in the governor's mansion.

The longtime governor's mansion in Sacramento was last used in 1967 by Ronald Reagan. It is now a museum. (Gov. Gray) Davis lives in a rented house in a suburb.

[realFedUp]

19. I knew he was going to be a commuter...

Maria will continue her job as unseemly as that is,
the kids will continue their schooling in SoCal
and Ahnold will let Pete Wilson's staff run the show
while he makes TV time appearances now and then.

[salin]

21. Issue isn't the building... its the CITY - he will be NOWHERE near Sac.

he will only fly in "when needed" - that is - he will only be a partly present Governor.

[arcane1]

26. "when needed" = "for photo ops"

besides, the REAL question is where will Pete Wilson be living??

:shrug:

[cally]

41. But it is beautiful

He could move in there or do what other Governor's have done. and buy a house.

[Capn Sunshine]

22. But SACRAMENTO isn't a museum. Its the Capital

and all governance happens THERE. It happens around the clock, not 9-5 as the Gropinator seems to belive. You have to LIVE there in order to BE there.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

[Xithras]

30. Huh?

You must not have spent much time in Sac. I used to work for several different state departments in Sacramento (including the California EPA, where I met Davis), and let me tell you that, except for budget time, the "hours of business" are 11AM-3PM Monday through Thursday. Outside of those hours everybody important is too busy either attending ceremonies, making speeches, meeting with the busloads of tourist schoolchildren that overrun the capitol building every weekday, playing golf, or jetting off to some corner of the state to meet with some constiutent group. As far as night work goes, the capitol building is typically locked up tight and empty by 6:30pm every day. With only rare exception, our legislators NEVER work nights or weekends (budget time being the obvious exception).

The simple fact is, no California governor has lived full time in Sacramento since Jerry Brown sold the governors mansion in 1975 (there IS an effort to build a new one and change this, by the way). Davis spent most of his time in LA, and the other governors did much the same...staying in their hometowns most of the time and maintaining a second residence in the Sacramento area when it's needed. They either rent their own, or they can use the modest 4 bedroom house that the state provides free of charge (literally, and ordinary house in an ordinary neighborhood).

This is a non issue.

[cally]

42. Wrong!!!

I worked for CAL EPA, the legislature, and other agencies. If you are involved in policy, then you work late. I also met with other folks for dinner and drinks and formed needed friendships and connections. So when we were arguing a bill, I could get through to them and knew what their concerns were. I also never, repeat never, did not work a full day. I always knew I could reach the influential folks early morning or at night. Either at home or at work. I don't know your position or what you did, but I know many in the Capital and you are wrong. There is a cadre of hard working folks who are very influential.

[Xithras]

43. Late days?

Sorry, I don't buy it. I worked every day from 7AM to 6:30PM as a liason between the third party contractors and the CalEPA, CalDGS, CalDMV, and a few other agencies during the big IT overhaul in '99. I was usually one of the first in the buildings, and nearly ALWAYS the last one out...I even was chided by superiors multiple times because I was "overworking" myself. When we'd run into something that required input from some policy wonk, the response was more often than not "sorry, he's playing golf right now", "sorry, he's out of town", "sorry, he's with a tour group right now", "sorry, he's at lunch right now (at 10 am)". I rarely heard "he's in a meeting", "he's in session" or anything like that.

I was so fed up with the mismanagement and lack of work ethic in Sacramento that I finally quit in 2000, and now have very little respect for ANYBODY working there. I'm sure there are a few good people working to improve the state, but most of the people I met seemed to be more interested in self-preservation or self-gratification than in managing and improving the actual condition of our state.

[cally]

52. Well, go to Dept. of Finance right now

(11 pm on a Friday night) and I would bet that folks are working. They are crunching the new economic numbers and trying to estimate tax revenues. It's time for Departments to put in their preliminary budget proposals. Show up tomorrow and folks are working. Hit the Legislature in a few weeks and I would bet folks are working round the clock. Go to the offices of lobbyists and they are working. You lived in a different Sacramento than I lived in.

[BrotherBuzz]

29. He can live anywhere he chooses...

I wish he would choose Sun Valley, Idaho, out of state, so the Lieutenant Governor (Bustamante) could govern the state.

[chiburb]

31. The Illinois (Dem) Gov won't move to Springpatch...

So what?

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. Seriously?

San Bernardino? LOL, why? I can't imagine Maria and the kids living there. I wouldn't even live there. In fact, my ex and I bought a house in Hesperia just to avoid living in San Bernardino when he was stationed at Norton AFB. Haven't lived in California since moving to Texas in '92. Maybe San Bernardino has changed from how I remember it. :shrug:

[MurrayDelph]

33. Who pays the fuel costs?

If he chooses to live hundreds of miles away from his office, and commutes up to Sacramento then we need to make sure that:

a) He pays the upkeep himself

b) He re-registers that plane to include licensing in California (if it were a car, it would be illegal to have that vehicle not
registered with California tags after 10 days of declaring California your permanent residence). Currently it is registered in Nevada.

[realFedUp]

44. how do you know his plane is registered in Nevada?

and why would it be?

[Clete]

34. Wake up Californians, Pete Wilson

the Governor who gave us the energy mess to begin with is back as defacto Governor again. Arnold will be flown in for photo ops. Disgusting grab for power isn't it.

[CoffeePlease1947]

50. If that is the case then

I bet Arnold will not be re-elected. I want to see if Arnold tries to run for the Republican nomination against other popular Republicans in Cali. That would be fun to watch Arnold try to win the nomination from all those Repugs.

Mike

[Clete]

56. Arnold cannot be left in office until 2006.

This state is so damaged from the previous Pete Wilson administration, there will be a revolution if those same people continue the looting of our state. I for one will battle to get this woman abuser out of office along with the trolls who put him there.

[lumpy]

36. The governor's digs weren't good

enough for Nancy Reagan either. If I recall, her rich-bitch friends ponied up a first class mansion for her and her sweety.

[leesa]

38. I certainly hope we are not paying for that

[KFC]

39. I wouldn't move to Suckramento either

Or San Bernadino for that matter.

Anyway, as several people have pointed out, this is a non-issue. Govs haven't permanently moved to Sacto for a long time.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

40. Arnie must have told Tweety about this before the election

because the day after it, I saw Tweety and Imus blabbering together and Tweety was screeching, "I hope he stays home in his big mansion and just phones it in. Why should he go to Sacramento?" and on and on.

It's all part of degrading politics and making people hate government, I guess.

[ComerPerro]

47. What an asshole

I guess he only wants to do this as a part-time job.

[nolabels]

48. He probably thought it was like the Job * had in Texas

Show up for a few hours a couple months a year and go home :bounce:

[otohara]

49. CO Owens Doesn't Live In Mansion

Well maybe he does now, since separating from Mrs. Owens

[A-Schwarzenegger]

51. You better check your coffee, please.

The only way Arnie would even *land* in
San Berdoo is if his Leer ran out of gas.

[Piperay]

53. San Berdo????

most people avoid San Berdo and would choose just about anywhere else to live Ca but there, how weird. :crazy: :shrug:

[Ridley Park 704]

54. What does it matter where he is, he's another empty suit like *

Let Arnold govern from Southern California, that is where all his support is, and when he fails miserably in his gubernatorial quest to reduce the deficit without pissing everybody off, his angry constituents in S.Cal who have had enough can easier get to him so they can get the tar and feathers ready.

[Art_from_Ark]

55. San Bernardino-- the Crime Capital of the Inland Empire(TM)

A co-worker of mine spent a few months in San Berdoo, and it was all he could stand. Both he and his friends nearly got mugged near the bus station on separate occasions, and he said the police were always being called to the area around the downtown mall. When the smog gets bad in the summer, he said you can't even see the mountains five miles away. Who would want to move to a place like that?
