Schwarzenegger hints at bid for re-election

GOVERNOR ALSO SAYS TAX HIKE A POSSIBILITY

SACRAMENTO - Stopping just short of announcing that he'll seek re-election next year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday said that he's someone who likes to finish what he starts and added that his plans will be clear within weeks.

``I will be talking about that this month,'' Schwarzenegger told newspaper columnist Daniel Weintraub, who was guest-hosting on Sacramento radio station KTKZ. ``But as you know, I'm a man that always goes and stays all the way through until we get done, so I'm looking forward to working for the people.''

Also Friday, the governor warned that he would have little choice but to consider raising taxes to help balance the state's books if his so-far unpopular spending control fails. ``Then we have to look at raising taxes, because this is the only option we have, in order to create the money. And this is why I tell people vote yes'' on his spending limit.

On a day when he hit the airwaves and held an event in Los Angeles to urge Californians to donate to, and take part in, Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, Schwarzenegger also said being governor is ``the greatest job I've ever had.''

In a recent interview with KCRA television in Sacramento, Schwarzenegger also dropped re-election hints: ``I'm a follow-through guy,'' he said. ``I don't walk away from things that I think are unfinished.''

2. How much you wanna bet his "tax hikes" are across the board
which actually would affect the lower incomes, rather than hiked on some multi-millionaire Hollywood actors, which would affect a few people but draw in as much money?
