The Governator Prevailed

arnie.jpg

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't make history on Thursday.

He refrained from using his power to veto the budget California lawmakers sent his way because his demands for budget reform were incorporated into the plan!

Lawmakers also agreed to nix 'borrowing gimmicks' opposed by the Gov.

No governor in modern California state history has ever vetoed a budget submitted by lawmakers.

Arnie criticized the original plan for failing to meet his demands for a more robust rainy day fund. He said the budget relied on accounting gimmicks to close a $15.2 billion deficit — such as collecting an extra 10 percent of workers' income tax in advance and repaying it later — that could lead to an even larger deficit next year, according to reports.

Legislative leaders said they had agreed to remove that provision in their latest deal.

Nice to see government peeps working together!

How refreshing.

Good job, Arn!

      Are you absolutely retarded Perez? This fuckwad is leaving our State without a budget and having people who work for the state working at minimum wage. This is exactly the kind of bullshit one should expect when putting a 'super hero' into ofice. He is butt fucking retarded…as are you.

      Below are a few lines from Obama's books, IN HIS WORDS!
      From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' / 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' / 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' / 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' / 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
      ************'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'**************
      Hmmmm….a Muslim, a Bigot & a RACIST…NO THANKS! McCain / Palin 2008! :-)

      perez you are a fat greasy pig. your recent post on this matter was negative towards Arnold. I agree w/ Arnold and think he is doing preventive measures that other states need to do, esp. w/ this economy hurting state revenues.

      can't believe i like a repube, but arnold is much better than expected. also like republican senator hagel for working across the aisle.
      perez you are such a flip flopper piece of crap. you don't research crap before posting it. remember bernie mac??? where' that apology asshole.

      'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.

      Great so maybe NEXT YEAR THEY CAN DO IT ON TIME !!!! Teachers, City & State workers as well as subcontracters in the social services have been workign WITHOUT PAYCHECKS since the budget went unsigned in July. A group of indivuals who live pay check to paycheck and average 40 k a year. I am sure landlords were happy to take an IOU from people who got IOU's from the state for the past 2 months

      Re: redsonja1313
      I grew up in, and married into, Union families. Union workers (at least in the Midwest) may have to work without a contract for awhile…but, they do NOT go without a paycheck. They get the same pay, before contract renewal…and then, when both parties reach an agreement, and it gets signed, the employees get the pro-rated pay increase in the next check.
      Hell, even when they go out on strike…they STILL get a paycheck (it's only a portion, but, it's still a check).

      Perez totally love you, but keep with the gossip and out of politics. Arnnie totally dryfucked the people of the state. No spit, no lube, he and his republicants, decimated social services, health care and any type of rehab and parole. HIV/AIDS programs are on life support right now, any type of free clinics for the poor are hurting. He cut education, he cut teachers pay (already thelowest paid in the country), he raised tuitions at UC/CSU and cut their budgets. Guess what got an increase? Prisons. So maybe check before you cheer one of the worse Governors in history, like you check your sources.

      Re: eyelessRe: eyeless
      Hey Eyeless,
      Feel free to comment but please be truthful! Teachers in California are the highest paid in the country. The prison guard union and other public employee literally run this state. California has the highest personal income tax in the USA. California has the highest sales tax. State revenue has increased 40% over the past five years and yet California has a massive deficit. The Democrats and public employee unions are bleeding this state dry. The facts please!
