This has all the earmarks of corruption, especially with the double-dipping by his highest aides. I can't recall any other governor ever allowing that. Governors always make employees go off the government payroll when they start doing political work. But not Arnold. If a Democrat were doing this stuff, the Republicans would be screaming their heads off.

The first thing I look for when thinking about corruption is whether there's been a clear violation of the law. His veto of the nutritional supplement bill looks to me like a very clear violation of conflict of interest laws.
