Arnold Schwarzenegger: “When I praise Governor Brown, some people look at me like I’ve lost my mind. I’m a Republican, and he is a Democrat. In our current political climate, we are supposed to be mortal enemies…Here in California, the environment has never been a political issue, and it shouldn’t be…In the United States, 200,000 people die every year from air pollution-related illnesses. They aren’t dying from breathing Republican air or Democratic air. We all breathe the same air.”
“While Washington has been frozen by ideology, we in California have served the people instead of our parties…We know in California that you don’t have to choose between the environment and the economy. In fact, the opposite is true, and we have proven it by being relentlessly committed to our goals…It isn’t my legacy—it’s California’s legacy.”
