Why does Gray Davis have money sitting around to fight the recall effort? Does anyone know? He's hiring lawyers and petition gatherers and such, but where's the money coming from? Did he have money left over from his last gubernatorial campaign? If so, is he allowed to just spend it on anything he wants, or what? Maybe all the money he's spending has been donated since the recall effort was started, but that's not the impression I've gotten. It must cost quite a bit of money to hire all those people, and I haven't heard about any fund-raising for that specific purpose.
I'm not suggesting anything illegal, I really want to know. Can he roll the "Davis 2002" campaign money over to this new effort? Why didn't he spend all that money last year, anyway? He couldn't have imagined he'd need it again. Unless he was planning to run for president or something.
Anyway, I'm just curious. Any ideas?
Somehow I'm guessing that we taxpayers are footing the bill for it in some form or another.
This is really a pretty lame question.
The real question is how did we alow a millionaire to fund a recall at a dollar a signature. If he can fund a recall he should could also fund the 30 + million dollars that we tax payers will have to pay. I have not hear one substantial bit of evidence why we should recall the Governor. To blame the Governor for the financial devastation resulting from ENRON price gauging 2 years ago is lunacy. CEO Ken Lay one of the con artist who walked away with 600 million dollars has not been indicted because of his connection with this administration. In fact there has only been one indictment to date. And now this company is being allowed to get back into business without accounting for all the 1000's fictious companys accounts they have created overseas to hid their profits from investors and the IRS.
If you want to have a recall lets look at GW's economic track record. With out going into details i can tell you its not a pretty sight. Just take a look at the business section of any major news paper published in the US and read about the hugh number of lay-offs and major companies declaring bankruptcy. This administration is spending 5 billion a month of our tax dollars to rebuild Iraq. After telling us when they took over the White House that we are not in the business of nation building. Now take a look which company and its subsidaries was awared the contracts to rebuild Iraq. A Texas company called Haliburton which was under investigation for their fradulant accounting practices to mislead investors and the SEC during Vice-President Cheney's reign as CEO. Smell the coffee America you been fooled.
If you were losing thousands of dollars and the only way to stop it was to pay someone 30 dollars would you do it? Of course you would!
