Schwarzenegger Considers Increases In Federal Funding

slide23.pngCalifornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met with his counterparts at the National Governors Association in Washington, D.C. this weekend. Schwarzenegger arrived Sunday to meet Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and discussed their partnership on infrastructure. Last month they announced they would work together to encourage more federal spending on roads, bridges, transit systems and water projects. They say the nation needs to invest about $1.6 trillion to rebuild its crumbling infrastructure. Schwarzenegger skipped the spring meeting of the California Republican party in San Francisco so he could be in Washington. (Fox40 contributed to this story)
