Schwarzenegger ever more critical of CEQA, environmental laws

 
Feb 5, 2010

No surprises here, just reminders of where this Governor has always stood. A few choice quotes from today’s Capitol Alert: “The governor twice this week portrayed environmental regulations as a barrier to job creation, at one point Tuesday suggesting that some environmentalists ‘become fanatics and they go overboard’ when they object to green technology projects.”

Here he makes another “shovels-ready” type of remark: “So now that we have so many projects that are ready to go, but still have maybe some obstacles there because of the permitting, what we want to do is go and move forward and have people start working, pouring cement, laying steel and putting a shovel into the ground and so on.”
