iwom in Monday as the
!8th governor of

neteoric rise from body-

he oath of office before an.audi-
:nce of 7,500 dignitaries and sup-

KX Schwarzenegger’s wife,
' tale I daria Shriver, held the Bible
vhile California Supreme Court
hief Justice Ronald George
idministered the oath.
“I am humbled, I am honored

said after being sworn in
“I enter this office beholden
to no one except you, my fellow
citizens. I pledge my governor
ship to your interests, not to spe
cial interests,” he added.
Although he had no
prior experience as an
elected official, the
Republican
Schwarzenegger was
swept into office in the
Oct. 7 election that
ousted Democratic
Gov. Gray Davis,
reviled by the voters
for handling of the state’s ailing
economy.
The ceremony, while steeped
in tradition, was void of the
pageantry often associated with
California inaugurations.
Bitterness over the divisive
recall vote and the state’s financial
troubles prompted
Schwarzenegger to put a damper
on livelier festivities. Former Miss

America Vanessa Williams, who
appeared with Schwarzenegger in
the 1996 film “Eraser,” sang the
national anthem.
Nearly 740 journalists were
expected to cover the ceremony.
Fifteen dignitaries from 13
countries were in attendance,
including representatives from
Canada, Egypt, Austria and sev
eral from Mexico.
The new governor was sur
rounded by his four children,
who had remained out of pub
lic view during much of the
recall campaign.
Later in the day,
Schwarzenegger was to attend three
events: a luncheon inside the
Capitol rotunda for state and federal
officials, a private family gathering
across the street and an invitation-
only reception sponsored by the
state Chamber of Commerce.
He was scheduled to return to
the Capitol by mid-afternoon to
start the business of running
California’s government, a job
that became more daunting over
the weekend when his chief finan
cial deputy pegged the state bud
get deficit at $25 billion.
An immigrant who arrived in
the United States at the age 21
barely able to speak English,
Schwarzenegger is a quick study
who impressed even some of his
critics with his raw political
skills. But he has nonetheless
also made many promises to
voters that will be hard to keep,
including repealing a big hike in
the car tax on his first day in
office. That will add an estimat
ed $4 billion to the deficit.
Democrats have said that
they will be willing to give the
new governor a chance, but
most observers agree that the
political goodwill will not last,
presenting the new governor
with even more challenges.
