WG: Don't terminate Arnold

From Western Growers, a news release about embattled Governor Schwarzenegger:


IRVINE, CA (September 15, 2008) - Western Growers today announced its strong support for Governor Schwarzenegger and its equally strong opposition to the effort by the California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) to initiate a recall of the Governor. Western Growers President and CEO Tom Nassif made the following statement:

“The attempt to launch a recall campaign against Governor Schwarzenegger is senseless and without merit. While we have not always agreed with his positions, we have always known that Governor Schwarzenegger puts the interests of the people of California first. His leadership is marked by a willingness to take on California’s most intractable issues in spite of the political risks that come with them. We are confident that the failure of this ill-advised recall attempt will reconfirm the confidence of the people of California in Governor Schwarzenegger.”

Western Growers was the first major business organization to endorse Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2003 gubernatorial recall campaign
