Arnold signed another batch of bills, after no activity for one week:

"Our" bills could show up there any time...

Since the Governor is in New York, John Garamendi is actually the Governor today.

I do suspect that when he gets back there will be more action.

still time to drop a snail mail in the box today!

Holy crap, does Garamendi get to sign bills?

I remember there was some conundrum about this back in the Jerry Brown (D-Gov)/ Mike Curb (R-Lt Gov) days in mid 1970s. Maybe that was related to staff appointments and not bills, not sure...

Who's this guy, and is he really signing stuff? This sounds dangerous.

good political memory!

Mike Curb did pull a bunch of stuff on Jerry Brown back in the day according to lore....

that was Mike Curbs last elected position too.

there was a point in 2004 where Arnold and Cruz were out of state, making Burton the Governor for about 2 days.

Burton declared the day in honor of his favorite jazz musician and rumor has it fired all the GOP staff for about 5 minutes.

Sorry didnt mean to scare anyone, I really dont think there should be any issues whatsoever. Garamendi wont pull any hanky panky.

Yup, one and the same.

Some might remember he did the music for the movie Kelly's Heroes.
