Hundreds of boisterous protesters upset by Gov. Schwarzenegger's ballot initiatives targeting teachers' tenure, unions and school funding demonstrated outside the Mission Inn on Wednesday as the governor hobnobbed inside with donors who paid $2,500 or more to attend the private dinner.
A crowd of more than 400 teachers, firefighters, nurses, San Bernardino County sheriff's employees and other union workers swarmed Orange Street and Mission Inn Avenue, chanting "Recall Arnold" and "Shame on you" as donors arrived at the landmark hotel.
"This is a direct attack on public employees," said Craig Adams, a longtime teacher and president of the Alvord Educators Association.
