A coalition of concerned citizens' groups will host a "Don't Be Fooled By $chwarzenegger" press conference at 12 noon on Friday, April 1st at the County Administration Building, 1600 Pacific Coast Highway.

Speakers will include representatives from the San Diego Education Association, California Nurses Association, San Diego Labor Council, San Diego for Democracy, and Voices for Open and Truthful Election Results and Reform (VOTERR).

"We don't need this election. It will cost an additional $70 million and is completely unnecessary when we have one scheduled to take place 7 months later anyway," says Charlie Imes, San Diego For Democracy chair. "This is a purely political ploy to circumvent working with the people's elected representatives on the issues. Don't be fooled by Arnold. We don't need this special election."
