Gov. Has New Plan For His Tank: Kiddie Rides

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he asked for the return of his Austrian army tank from an Ohio museum because he was concerned about the upkeep and wants to offer rides on it to schoolchildren.

Schwarzenegger said he plans to offer the rides to inner-city kids in the Los Angeles area as a reward for staying in school, avoiding drugs and working hard.

The governor said he used to offer trips to his movie sets as an incentive to kids. But since he became governor and stopped making movies in 2003, he hasn't had anything enticing to offer.

He said kids just aren't that excited about a tour of the state Capitol.

The tank had been on loan to the Motts Military Museum in Groveport, Ohio, since 2000.
