From progressreport.org

ARNOLD TRIP PAID FOR BY DRUG INDUSTRY LOOKING FOR A VETO: Corporations

(R) trip to the convention, including a lavish party at Planet Hollywood
(taxpayers will be footing the bill for his security). Many of the
contributions come from large pharmaceutical companies

like Pfizer who are actively lobbying the governor to veto four bills
passed
(http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/world/9449496.htm) by
the state legislature "designed to help Californians buy cheaper
prescription drugs from Canada."
