Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican candidate for vice president, has urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to veto a fee on cargo containers going through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, setting off a wave of criticism from California environmentalists.
"This tax makes the situation worse," Palin wrote. "Similarly, the tax may harm California by driving port business away from its ports."
The libtards and environmentalists went nuts about it.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union, which represents 15,000 workers, says adding another levy might encourage retailers to avoid California ports.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union, which represents workers who handle cargo at 29 West Coast ports, on Thursday asked Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to veto legislation that would levy a fee of up to $60 on each 40-foot cargo container going through the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland to pay for pollution-reduction programs.
The 15,000-member union opposes SB 974 by state Sen. Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) because its fees would come on top of several other assessments on cargo containers moving to and from the ports, ILWU International Vice President Joe Radisich said in a statement.
The bill was vetoed by Gov. Schwarzenegger today.
