Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a $50,000 reward today for tips leading to the conviction of the assailants in the shooting death of a man in unincorporated Hayward
Would that be in the form of an IOU?? We aren't able to pay state employees the money owed them, but the governor is handing out reward money?? |
