05/03/2007 -- California Governor Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after the California Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision in Welcher v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board et al.:

“Today’s ruling is a huge victory in protecting the successful reforms to the workers’ compensation system that the legislature and I accomplished together three years ago. Thanks to these reforms, we have eliminated a poison to our economy and cut premiums by almost 65% - resulting in more than $15 billion in savings.”
