Reply #15: Actually, isn't this the Attorney General's call? [View All]

I'm not sure the governor has the authority to settle these suits on his own, since the attorney general is an independently elected officer.

But if he does have this authority, then Arnold is the cheapest whore on Hollywood Boulevard. The energy companies will potentially save themselves billions of dollars for only a few million dollars of campaign contributions.

Arnold ought to be dragged over the coals for this. But the press will let him slide by. Still, it's kind of interesting how the terminator becomes a 98 lb weakling whenever industry is on the other side of the table.
