Governator Trumps Bush

Schwarzenegger OKs $150 million for research

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday authorized a $150 million loan to the state's stem cell institute, giving it money to make research grants while continuing to fight legal challenges that threaten its existence.
The move came a day after President Bush used his veto power for the first time in his presidency to quash a law that would have expanded federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.Schwarzenegger said the state cannot afford to wait to fund the critical science. I remain committed to advancing stem cell research in California, in the promise it holds for millions of our citizens who suffer from chronic diseases and injuries that could be helped as a result of stem cell research,” Schwarzenegger said in a letter authorizing the loan.
Stem cell institute President Zach Hall said the loan will give the financially challenged organization enough money to fund at least one round of grants.


HAHA Bushy! The Governator will fund stem cell research if you don't. Go Arnie!
