In an effort to stimulate the California economy Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to spend $500 million on worker training. The administration believes such an injection of funds, borrowed from a surplus in the state’s disability insurance fund, could create as many as 100,000 jobs. The proposal includes limits on lawsuits that can be filed against small businesses and weakening of environmental regulations when applied to major construction projects.
