Governor considers 'green' bills
Environmentalists and industry officials alike are waiting for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to act this week on a stack of environmental bills that would do everything from requiring "green" building standards on new construction to banning potentially hazardous chemicals in children's toys. Paul Rogers in the Daily News.
Schwarzenegger has until Sunday to sign or veto all the bills the Legislature passed this year, including more than a dozen on environmental issues.
"We hope that the governor is going to want to reinforce his environmental reputation by signing some of these key bills," said Bill Magavern, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club.
