But deal still must be sold to caucuses, Assembly leaders and governor.
SACRAMENTO – Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman’s office is reporting that he and Senate Democrat Leader Don Perata have reached a tentative deal on the state budget.
According to the Irvine senator’s office, the two leaders have reached a tentative agreement that they will now share with members of their respective caucuses. Republicans are meeting now to discuss the plan, details of which are unknown.

There’s still a long way to go. Both caucuses need to sign off on it, and then Fabio and the Assembly need to agree.
