Schwarzenegger's Jet Commute May End as Santa Monica Seeks Ban
By Andy Fixmer
May 1 (Bloomberg) -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's regular commute by private jet from the state capitol to his mansion in Los Angeles has hit turbulence.
A federal judge will decide on May 15 whether the governor can land aboard a Gulfstream IV in Santa Monica, a 15-minute drive to his home in Los Angeles' wealthy Brentwood enclave. The governor's brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver, is among the Santa Monica city council members who voted unanimously on March 25 to ban large jets at the municipal airport.
``These guys aren't listening so we have to lift the conversation to a different level,'' said Shriver, referring to proponents of allowing the jets, including the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. A surge in flights ``has changed the whole safety profile of this little airport,'' said Shriver, 54, a brother of California's first lady, Maria Shriver.
Santa Monica, a beachside town surrounded on three sides by Los Angeles, is fighting a temporary restraining order obtained by the FAA that blocks enforcement of the ordinance. A U.S. District Court judge in Los Angeles will decide whether to allow the ban or delay it while the matter is resolved by a trial, Santa Monica Deputy City Attorney Martin Tachiki said.
