SACRAMENTO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Monday that he was having none of the state prison guard union's threats to recall him from office.

On Sunday the spokesman for the California Correctional Peace Officers Association told the San Francisco Chronicle that the powerful union was seriously considering launching a recall effort of the Golden State's celebrity governor.

Lance Corcoran told the paper that the union was considering the move in part because its members have not received a salary raise this year.

On Monday, Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's senior adviser, said that his boss wasn't terribly impressed by the threat.

"This is the latest in intimidation tactic after intimidation tactic used by the prison guard union in their never-ending effort to extract a huge pay raise out of the Legislature and the governor," Mendelsohn said in a press statement. "Just last week it was revealed that they have funneled more than half a million dollars to (state Sen. President Pro Tem Don) Perata in an effort to get their over-the-top pay raise out of the Legislature. Now, CCPOA has sunk to a new low of special interest group politics."

Mendelsohn continued:

"It should not be forgotten that prior to the governor's election this very same union used their money and influence to buy a 37 percent raise at a time when the economy was faltering and the state was struggling to make ends meet. When he came into office, the governor put an end to those days and because the governor has stood firm, CCPOA has resorted these types of heavy-handed ploys to buy off and coerce our leaders into doing their bidding. The governor will not be intimidated by these selfish tactics worthy of a schoolyard bully."

As of mid-afternoon Monday, Corcoran, the CCPOA spokesman, had not returned a PolitickerCA.com call seeking comment on the union's recall proposal.
