Gov. Arnold Backs Stem Cell Research Initiative
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today endorsed a state ballot measure supporting stem cell research.
Proposition 71 would spend $3 billion of California state money funded through bonds on stem-cell research and use another $3 billion to finance the interest payments over 30 years...."I am, of course, a supporter of stem cell research. Research that we do now holds the promise of cures for tomorrow," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "We are the world's bio-tech leader and Prop. 71 will help ensure that we maintain that position while saving lives in the process."
Polls show the measure is favored among California voters.
