Now California Is Trying to Destroy Big Box Stores

The morons that make up the Dem caucus in the California legislature has passed some real bovine excrement bills this year, some of which I've talked about here before. Now they've decided to join their moron colleagues in other states in trying to destroy big box stores:

Bills that would give California's local governments more power to fight Wal-Mart and other huge stores are heading to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, over the objections of the giant retailer, business groups and Republican lawmakers.

The latest bill, approved 23-16 Wednesday by the Senate, would require local governments to consider an economic impact report before approving any "big box" store larger than 100,000 square feet.

On Tuesday, a 24-13 vote sent Schwarzenegger a bill requiring retailers to pay communities' legal fees if the local governments prevail in lawsuits that challenge zoning ordinances or regulations aimed at restricting mega-stores.

Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson said the governor has taken no position on the bills.

Arnold needs to start vetoing this crap. He's already signed some bills designed to promote homosexuality in schools, and hurt small business with all kinds of ridiculous "global warming" prevention measures. Arnold better get out the veto pen or he's perilously close to turning a whole host of conservatives against him in November's election. I won't vote for Angelides, but I won't vote for Arnold either if I don't see some change...and pronto.
