The Pacific Research Institute is pleased to report that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has eliminated direct taxpayer funding for the Institute for Labor and Employment (ILE) at the University of California by vetoing $3.8 million intended for it in the 2005-06 state budget. Few programs deserved elimination more than the ILE, which earned PRI's California Golden Fleece Award in July 2003 and April 2005 for its egregious waste of taxpayer money.
