California’s governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, may make state history.
On Tuesday, he told the state’s lawmakers that he’ll veto the spending budget they planned to send his way.
This would be the first budget veto ever by a governor in modern day California.
The budget proposal is 78 days late!
Arnold said that he if the budget did not include three provisions to ensure the state a reliable rainy-day fund for times of fiscal trouble it will be ousted, reports the LA Times.
The governator also reportedly said that if lawmakers decided to override him (which they were openly planning) he would kill most of the legislation they passed this year.
Diva!!!
“Hundreds of bills will be vetoed,” Arnold threatened.
This year, California has developed a $15.2-billion budget gap.
Who and what isn’t financially challenged these days?????
