Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger just vetoed a watered-down version of a bill sponsored by state Sen. Jack Scott (D-Pasadena) that would have provided warnings re: mylar balloons.
The original bill would have banned the foil balloons outright -- a much-ridiculed move -- before being modified to a mere consumer warning. Apparently the balloons short out power lines and cause expensive outages, according to Scott's op-ed in the Times.
