Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-Ca) and Governor Jodi Rell (R-Ct) have accused the federal government of dragging it's feet on the subject of global warming.
The governors also criticized President George W. Bush for an executive order he issued last week giving federal agencies until the end of 2008 -- near the end of Bush's term -- to continue studying what to do about greenhouse gas emissions.
"To us, that again sounds like more of the same inaction and denial, and it is unconscionable," they wrote.
"California, Connecticut and a host of like-minded states are proving that you can protect the environment and the economy simultaneously," Rell and Schwarzenegger wrote. "It's high time the federal government becomes our partner or gets out of the way."
Nice. There's something so liberating to see someone break with their own political party to do good things... regardless of what that political party affiliation may be.
