SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Arnold Schwarzenegger may be forgoing a state salary as California governor but he is still pulling in millions of dollars a year as an editor of two bodybuilding magazines. American Media Operations, which publishes "Muscle & Fitness" and "Flex" magazines, said on Wednesday it was paying the former Mr. Olympia $8.15 million over five years to serve as executive editor of those magazines.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050714/ts_nm/life_schwarzenegger_dc;_ylt=Ai0zh2apStwUf_jWuUrs.1JZ.3QA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl"I would say that if someone is getting $8.1 million from the fitness industry, even if it is a magazine, it potentially creates a conflict of interest," said Bruce Cain, a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley. "If it is not in violation of California law, it certainly violates the spirit of our conflict of interest laws."
