Very first thing he did, I think, was cut. Got elected promising to cut. Screwed up the budget from the git. 11/17/2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Governor Schwarzenegger Repeals the Car Tax SACRAMENTO Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today repealed the increase of the car tax shortly after taking office. "During the campaign I promised on day one to repeal the car tax increase," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "Today, I am making good on that promise." Schwarzenegger rescinded the car tax increase by signing his first Executive Order as Governor. (Available upon request.) "Hardworking Californians who want safe, reliable transportation for their families were hit especially hard by this regressive tax," Schwarzenegger continued. "Now, they will have more money in their pockets to pay for needed goods and services." In addition to rescinding the car tax, Governor Schwarzenegger also affirmed his commitment to backfill money to local governments that gain revenue from the car tax. "Local governments provide essential services like police and fire protection. To ensure that those services continue, I have called the Legislature back into session to address this important need." gov.ca.gov
