    Gov. Schwarzenegger Comes to LB's Boeing Plant To Sign Workers Comp Reform Bill


    Gov. Schwarzenegger Workers Comp signing April 19/04(April 19, 2004) -- CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger chose LB's Boeing factory as the site for signing a landmark Workers Compensation reform bill, recently passed by the state legislature (under the threat of a petition-initiated measure).

    The event took place on April 19 at Boeing's plant on Wardlow Rd. just east of Cherry Ave. almost exactly six months after Governor Schwarzenegger took office following the recall of former Gov. Gray Davis.

    Governor Schwarzenegger reminded the crowd (largely Boeing workers with local officialdom also present) that reforming CA's workers compensation system was one of his promises on taking office.

    Gov. Schwarzenegger Workers Comp 4/19/04"Today as you can see I am a very happy Governor, because we passed the bill, which is Senate Bill 899, which will produce billions and billions of dollars of savings, and at the same time it will protect the workers, and we're going to say 'Hasta la vista, baby' to all the people that committed the fraud and the abuse of the system," Governor Schwarzenegger said.
