Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reiterated his support for a bond measure to build more water storage in California -- both above and below ground -- when he met with The Bee's editorial board yesterday. Here's our video interview with the governor.
Schwarzenegger correctly separates the need for massive infrastructure investment in California from the current budget crisis, which is good news for the Valley and the state. California has let its once world-class roads, bridges, water systems and higher education languish in recent decades, and we're paying a high price for that neglect.
The governor also expressed support for the high-speed rail bond on the November ballot -- more good news.
Even as we struggle with the prospect of steep budget cuts and the possibility of higher taxes to fix the budget mess, we have to keep an eye on the future. And that means investing in the infrastructure we need to stay in the vanguard of the world economy.
