Siding with his business allies, Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) vetoed bills Saturday that would have
raised the minimum wage to $7.75 an hour and required economic impact
reports before local governments approve Wal-Mart-like mega-stores.
The Republican governor also turned down legislation that would have
limited drug testing of students and set a goal of holding university
fee increases to no more than 8 percent a year. He contended the
minimum wage and superstore legislation would have hurt the state's
economy and said drug testing policies should be left up to school
officials. [more ]
