With an additional $1 million contribution, NOW Poizner is “all in” against 93

This morning, I wrote about Steve Poizner being "all in" relative to his aggresive leadership role in working to defeat the Fabian Nunez Term Limits Weakening Measure, Proposition 93.

Well, apparently I was wrong.

Apparently Poizner, who already had made a personal contribution of $1.5 million to the effort to defend our state’s legislative term-limits, was a million bucks shy of being "all in"…

How do we know this?

Because NOW he is ALL IN.

Today Poizner opened up his checkbook and wrote another MILLION dollar contribution (FR readers will recall that Steve Poizner, before his involvement in politics, was very successful in the Silicon Valley hi-tech field, and is not hurting for cash).

I caught up with Poizner, who has this to say about his additional, sizable contribution: 

"When I took on the leadership role of opposing this naked power grab by Capitol politicians, I made it clear that we would have the resources necessary to make the case to California voters on why they should reject 93. Since then, we have successfully raised millions to stop 93, and the check I wrote today is to ensure that we are successful in defending our state’s legislative term limits."

Outstanding, I say
