It’s coming down to the wire! In a last ditch effort to sway Saturday's USOC vote on the American candidate city, the Governator today signed a bill that authorizes $250 million in state funds to underwrite the 2016 Games if they're in L.A. Because the USOC requires this, L.A. may have been a sure loser if Arnold hadn’t sprung into action. Now the heat is on. Representatives from Chicago and L.A. will present to the USOC on Saturday in Washington, DC, and both parties will try to make their case for why they are totally the coolest and funnest places to host the 2016 Olympic Games.
