5/21: "A group seeking to suspend California's global warming law said Thursday that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration used its offices to campaign against the initiative, a violation of state law.

• The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association said it had filed requests under the California Public Records Act seeking correspondence conducted with state e-mail accounts. The group released an e-mail it said was sent by Schwarzenegger chief deputy director Lisa Kalustian and

Supporters of the proposed initiative are waiting to see whether it will qualify for the November ballot. If approved by voters, the initiative would delay the 2006 climate regulations until

• California's unemployment rate now at 12.6 percent drops to 5.5 percent and stays there for a year.
  
• That's only happened three times in the past three decades.

"The governor's office is misusing taxpayer funds, taxpayer-funded staff and potentially other public agencies

The group also filed requests with the California Air Resources Board and the California Environmental Protection Agency, and

• The AP "reporter" makes a statement about "oil companies" without any substantiation whatsoever. There are trillions of dollars behind the global warming fraud, including many from oil companies. UN climate chief Pachauri was installed by Saudi Arabia and heavily favored by oil interests (Climategate emails 4/19/2002).
  
• Job creation? Everyone knows 'green' programs are designed to kill jobs. The AP should check Spain on which the US has based its green jobs projections. Fail. Perhaps the AP reporter attended public schools and as such is not well educated.

The AP proves again it is not a news organization. If it were it would know that Saudi Arabia lobbied intensely for election of UN climate chief Rajendra Pachauri to head the IPCC. It's in the Climategate emails, 4/19/2002, that supposedly meant nothing to people at the AP. Oil companies are in the global warming cash coming and going. It's been widely reported that Obama has been the largest recipient of BP oil contributions over the past 20 years. The AP is not much different than Media Matters anymore.
