Arnie Ville demonstrators set up camp in Berkeley

A group of demonstrators has set up camp on Adeline Street near Russell Street in Berkeley to protest state budget cuts — and they are calling their encampment “Arnie Ville”.

One sign reads “We’re all crippled by the Gov. Terminator’s state budget cuts”.

Another calls on Governor Schwarzenegger to put a halt to cuts to in-home support services, social security income, Cal Works, General Assistance  and Medi-Cal.

    Chevron gouged $24 billions in excessive profits in 2008, as per http://www.tyrannyofoil.com. Schwarzenegger should put an excessive profits tax on these profits, instead of protecting the oil corporations from fair taxtion, then, there would be sufficient public funds for all the vulnerable, people programs. Big business lost the fight to eliminate domestic violence funding, so now they are coming back with a vengeance. There is no funding provision for battered women shelters in the May Revise. Schwarzee picks on the most vulnerable, and not on corporate tax “deadbeats.”
