Steve Westly comes down on Gov. Schwartzengger for his incredibly poor decision to veto the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act.

California State Controller and 2006 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Steve Westly made the following comments upon learning of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's veto of Assembly Member Mark Leno's AB 849, legislation that would have created marriage equality in our state:

"I'm deeply disappointed that Governor Schwarzenegger has once again kowtowed to his right-wing base and vetoed this landmark legislation that would have created true marriage equality in our state.

"With today's action, this Governor has cemented his place in history as an obstacle in the great civil rights battle of the day."

As reported last week, State Treasurer Phil Angelides also came out strong against Schwarenegger: Arnold on the wrong side of history; It will not be forgotten.

Angelides is also running for the gubernatorial seat against Schwarzenegger. His campaign site can be found at: http://www.angelides.com/
