LOS ANGELES — Rick Jacobs, Chair of the Courage Campaign, released the following statement today on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s appointment of Sen. Abel Maldonado to Lt. Governor:

“The best thing we can do right now is to remove Sen. Abel Maldonado from a position of importance where he can do great damage, the California State Senate, and place him in an irrelevant post, the Lt. Governor’s office,” said Rick Jacobs, Chair of the 700,000-member Courage Campaign. “For once, we agree with the Governor — Abel Maldonado should be demoted to Lt. Governor.”
