Differences

Arnold campaigned for Governor on the idea that he'd clean up the capitol. Turns out his aides are the ones cleaning up:

Three of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's key administration staffers are being paid as campaign consultants on the side, an arrangement that raises a new round of ethical questions for a Republican who campaigned on cleaning up Sacramento.

The conduct is not illegal as long as the work is not done on state time or with taxpayer resources, but it stands in stark contrast with the policies of former Gov. Gray Davis, who barred staffers from working for taxpayers and campaign committees simultaneously.

While not illegal, it does make one wonder if these consultants get special treatment from the governor, or if they put the wishes of themselves over the people when it comes to their dealings with Arnold's administration. Clearly certain laws and rules that may benefit the people may not benefit the respective campaigns these folks are working on. So which hat do they wear when they are doing the people's work?

Arnold said he was going to clean up Sacramento and put an end to special influences in government. Since then he's raised record money, took a sweetheart deal from body building supplements, and now allows consultants to work in his own office.

Makes sense to me.
