http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/09/26/MNG95EU1371.DTLCalifornia public employee unions, fighting for their political lives, are betting more than $60 million that they can defeat Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's package of initiatives Nov. 8.
So far, backers of the governor's measures, which he's billing as his California reform package, have raised only about half that, although they're confident contributions will pick up now that Schwarzenegger is running television ads and spending much of his time on the campaign trail.
"Now that the governor is up on the air (with TV ads), it will help,'' said Marty Wilson, the governor's chief money man. "We've seen some (fundraising) momentum in the past week. ... I'm growing more bullish that we may exceed $50 million.''
50??? that's all? I was expecting more like 75 or 100 million
