SACRAMENTO -- California Secretary of State Debra Bowen rejected on Tuesday a petition submitted by the state prison guards' union for a recall campaign against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, saying it did not meet legal requirements.

In a letter to Mike Jimenez, president of the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn., an aide to Bowen said the petition, submitted Sept. 29, failed to include the response Schwarzenegger filed nearly two weeks earlier to the union's intention to try to recall him. The format for signers to list their addresses was also incorrect, Elections Counsel Robbie Anderson said.

The union has 10 days from receiving Anderson's letter to submit a corrected petition. It is not unusual for recall proponents to go through several drafts before getting one right, said Kate Folmar, a spokeswoman for Bowen.

1. Bowen's a true public servant, not an ideologue.

She just does the job. Brilliantly.
