Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he's going to sign an environmental exemption bill that will clear the way for construction of the LA Stadium.

State senators approved the bill, which would nullify a lawsuit over the project's environmental impact report by citizens in neighboring Walnut. Schwarzenegger is expected to sign the bill in support of the stadium because its impact on the local economy and its ability to generate jobs.

There will be more than 6,700 new jobs created because of the stadium, causing an addition $21 million in new tax revenue and $762 million in new economic activity, said LA Stadium spokesperson.

Actually, there were no regulations at issue. The exemption voided a lawsuit filed by private citizens hoping to minimize impact of football crowds on what up to now has been a quiet residential community.

The citizens wanted a new impact study done, and that would have delayed construction from moving forward for up to a year. This exemption simply set aside that single lawsuit.

Oh by all means let's not create all those new jobs because heaven knows people in California don't need them because they are all Liberals, right Reeg?
