Arnie vs. Pirie | Print |  E-mail
Written by Chris J. Magyar   
Wednesday, 18 June 2008

Some local politicos are still steaming about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's snub of County Supervisor Board President Ellen Pirie at the press event for the Summit Fire on May 26. When making his statement to the press, Schwarzenegger thanked only Supervisor Tony Campos (who happened to be in Sacramento when the blaze erupted and put the emergency declaration on the governor's desk), ignoring Pirie, whose district encompassed the emergency. After the formal remarks, the governor turned to Pirie and asked her if she was there to bake cookies for the firefighters.

Pirie's flustered response was reportedly, "I thought that was what you're here for."
