California governor races heat over immigrant driver licenses
Gov. Gray Davis defended signing a bill granting licenses to illegal immigrants amid criticism from Arnold Schwarzenegger who vows to repeal it. Davis argues licenses improve safety and economy by requiring drivers to pass tests, while noting similar policies exist in Nevada and New Mexico. Schwarzenegger accuses Davis of flip flopping and pandering to Hispanic voters as the recall race focuses on immigration. The issue comes as both candidates outline plans on workers compensation and energy regulation during campaign events.
