At Least It Wasn't Your Bill

From ABC News, a more honest veto message than we get in these parts, anyway!

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) is raising eyebrows in California for issuing a veto message that spells out “f*** you” in the left-hand margin of the page.

The former action star’s f*** you message came when he rejected Assembly Bill 1176, legislation which would have expanded the financing powers of the Port of San Francisco.

The bill was unobjectionable to legislators of both parties: it sailed through the Assembly and state Senate on unanimous votes.

It was vetoed, however, by Schwarzenegger who said in his message that he considers it “unnecessary” to sign the bill at this time because another year has gone by without the legislature tackling big issues such as water reform, prison reform, and health care…

The sponsor of the bill was Tom Ammiano, a Democratic member of the State Assembly who recently heckled Schwarzenegger when the governor made a surprise drop-in at a San Francisco Democratic Party fundraiser.
