Gov. expected to veto Driver licenses for illegals

Local Latino activist groups are expecting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's veto of a bill this week that would allow undocumented residents to apply for a driver's license. Schwarzenegger and State Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, have been at odds for several months over a re-negotiated version of a bill that was repealed in 2003 that would have allowed undocumented workers to apply for driver's licenses.  Latino leaders claim that Schwarzenegger has broken his promise. "It sends a strong message to the Latino community that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a man to be trusted," said Evelina Molina. Molina heads the Napa/Santa Rosa chapter of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, an organization that has joined with others to petition for the right for undocumented residents to apply for driver's licenses.
