(AP) - Comments by a billionaire adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger that California's property taxes are too low drew sharp rebukes Friday from fellow Republicans, and highlighted the dilemma for a rookie gubernatorial candidate who has revealed little about his views.
Among the chorus of critics responding to the remarks by investment mogul Warren Buffett was Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, himself stung by a poll released Friday that showed growing support for his ouster in the Oct. 7 recall election.
"Lord knows we have some things in California that cost a lot, but property taxes are not one of them and nobody is going to change this," Davis said at a Los Angeles elementary school.
Buffett, Schwarzenegger's economic adviser, bumped his candidate into a controversial light with remarks in The Wall Street Journal about one of California's most sacred tenets, the 25-year-old tax revolt called Proposition 13.
