Governor Schwarzenegger today, in spite of state wide and Wall Street calls to cut state spending, introduced his revised 2004-2005 state budget proposal, the largest budget in the state's history at $103B
That's up $5B from his predessors largest budget and in the opposite direction from Schwarzenegger campaign perception that state spending would be brought under control. The proposed budget also presents the largest deficit budget in the state's history
Schwarzenegger offered that this budget proposal would not require increases in taxes but failed to acknowledge that it depends heavily upon the $15B he recently borrowed and that state fees of all types have been substantially raised to meet the demands of the new, larger budget.
Since Arnold is pro-abortion and pro-homosexual rights, there is very little he has to offer other than cutting spending. If this news article is correct, then it would seem that the RINOs have done it again.
Sacramento and short list.
The only difference between Arnold and Gray Davis is the party and not the political ideology.
Too bad Gray Davis is not still in power, if he were President Bush could go to CA and campaign against the out of hand spending by a Democratic Governor and could perhaps win the State. Now California is a lock for Kerry
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
Would the bond proposal have been approved by the citizens if it had been revealed at that time that spending would be increased using the bond money?
The GOP Screwed up BIG TIME by booting Davis out of Office. He would have been a great target for Bush to Kick Around in 2004.
I'm not surprised... but still outraged.
Increase in Spending
$15 Billion in Bondage
Cities/Counties increasing local taxes
Supporting Conservancies (New HUGE levies to come)
etc.
etc.
etc.
If this is "cleaning house", Arnold must live in a pig sty.
But I guess it's better to go off into hysterics. For a minute I thought I was on a Bizarro FR thread.
This is a staggering amount of money for a state. WTF are they doing with all that money?
Don't blame me. I voted for Tom.
I disagree.
The GOP screwed up by interfering in a true grassroots effort to impose their choice for Governor (Arnold), a Liberal, uneducated, inexperienced amateur. His ability to control the media is impressive. His other traits are going to ruin this state.
Don't know where your getting your information but you've got it backward.
The governor has convinced local governments to take larger hits this year and has promised the "paybacks" in future years. The diversion of property taxes away from local governments this year is the largest percentage in state history.
Ding. Keerect.
And just remember...licenses por Los Inmigrantes are next, followed closely by new taxes to pay for all the fun...
But he's an R, so it's all cool, right?

Same can be said about Bush's 600 bil. Medicare Bill and 30 Bil. Education Bill. As long as it is signed into Law by an R 'it's all cool'.
