Gray Davis on Steroids

Eastwood, Shriver not asked to return to state park panel??

Two voted CORRENCTLY against the 241 toll road extension, and to save California's Gold!

Take your pick.

Gov. Arnold "I want my Maybach" Schwarzenegger either felt the need for “fresh legs” on the state Park & Recreation Commission or was in the mood for political payback.

(ARNOLD DONT SURF! THANKS FOR NOTHING KOOK!)

Whatever Schwarzenegger's true sentiments, his staff notified his brother-in-law Bobby Shriver and actor Clint Eastwood on Monday that they were no longer needed as state park commissioners.

(THE PEOPLE OF SAN CLEMENTE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ARNOLD FOR BLOWING IT YET AGAIN!)

Shriver, 53, a Democrat and brother of first lady Maria Shriver, and Eastwood, 77, a Republican and former mayor of Carmel, were appointed to the advisory commission by Gov. Gray Davis in 2001. Three years later, Schwarzenegger reappointed both to four-year terms.

Yesterday, Shriver said he and Eastwood had requested to serve another four-year term. Eastwood couldn't be reached for comment.

As commissioners, the two men RIGHTLY voted to oppose an UN-NEEDED 16-mile extension of state Route 241 that would connect southern Orange County to Interstate 5 at San Onofre. The toll road would destroy a nature reserve in Orange County and destroy San Onofre State Beach, the fifth most popular camp site in the state, and a site considered sacred by American Indians (its their burial ground) and cherished by surfers and campers. (SURFINGS YOSIMITE RIGHT HERE IN ORANGE COUNTY!)

Shriver and Eastwood also supported a lawsuit against the road project filed on behalf of the park commission by the state attorney general.

(THANK YOU SHRIVER AND EASTWOOD YOU GUYS ROCK OUR WORLD!!!)

Schwarzenegger publicly endorsed the toll road extension, saying it would reduce traffic congestion. (WHAT IS HE SMOKING? ITS JUST SO THEY CAN BUILD MORE HOUSES! AND CAUSE MORE TRAFFIC!! GET A GRIP ARNOLD!) The governor also said the project would allow the financially beleaguered state park department to take advantage of a $100 million grant offered by the Transportation Corridor Agencies in exchange for approval of the road. ( AND THAT WAS PURE BS! HE SHOULD WATCH THE CCC HEARING )

The toll road proposal hit a major roadblock in February, when the state Coastal Commission voted 8-2 against it during a hearing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The Transportation Corridor Agencies have appealed that decision to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. (WOOT!! OLD PEOPLE YOUNG PEOPLE FAMILIES! BOYCOTT ALL THINGS ARNOLD!)

Shriver, a city councilman for Santa Monica, felt so strongly about the toll road that he testified against it at the Coastal Commission meeting. “Whatever the reason was I wasn't reappointed, I'm glad I voted the way I did,” Shriver said yesterday. “I still think it's a bad idea to put a freeway through a park.”

(WE LOVE YOU SHRIVER!! THANKS!!!)

State park Commissioner Caryl Hart of Sebastopol, who was appointed last year to a third term on the panel, said she has little doubt that Schwarzenegger was displeased with his two most high-profile park commissioners. “Doing this broadcasts to other gubernatorial appointees: If you don't follow the party line, you'll be gone,” Hart said.

(HEY ARNOLD YOU SUCK!)

Schwarzenegger's press secretary, Aaron McClear, said the governor's decision to replace Shriver wasn't connected to his stand against the toll road.

(YA BUT WE KNOW BETTER DONT WE?)

“The governor believes Mr. Eastwood and Mr. Shriver did an outstanding job on the state parks commission and is grateful for their service,” McClear said. “It's not unusual when commissioners' terms expire to replace them with some fresh legs.”

(OR NEW YES MAN THAT WILL NOT DO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT?!?! DIRTY POOL!! SOP!)
