Schwarzenegger headlines campaign to defeat California's Prop 23, sustain carbon legislation
In California, the Green Technology Leadership Group (GTLG) announced the launch of an innovative new media campaign to oppose Proposition 23, an initiative on California’s November 2nd ballot that aims to suspend landmark environmental laws in the state. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and special guest David Arquette will host an evening reception to oppose Proposition 23, Tuesday, October 19th from 5:00-7:00pm, at The Park, Cafeteria 15L, 1116 15th St., Sacramento, CA 95814.
If approved by voters this November, Proposition 23 would suspend the implementation of The California Global Warming Solutions Act (Assembly Bill 32 or AB 32) until the state unemployment rate drops to 5.5% or below for four consecutive quarters.
This stipulation would destabilize the investment market and prompt companies to reduce investment or relocate to other states and nations with strong environmental policies and incentives. In the race to lead the clean technology revolution, Proposition 23 will stunt the growth of California’s green economy.
