In setting an agenda for his last year in office, the Governor outlined job creation as his number one priority. In a state where unemployment continues to hover above twelve percent, Schwarzenegger outlined a five hundred million dollar plan including funding job training, construction projects and giving tax credits for first-time homebuyers. In his address, the Governor called for further changes in the state\u2019s budget, pension and tax system. In taking an argument from progressives, Schwarzenegger also proposed a constitutional amendment to ensure that California would spend more on higher education than prisons asking, \u201cWhat does it say about any state that focuses more on prison uniforms than on caps and gowns?\u201d Currently, California dedicates 11 percent of its budget spending for prisons as opposed to 7.5 percent for education. The Governor\u2019s plans for his final year in office are tempered by the fact that the state will face yet another major budget deficit crisis. With deep cuts having already been made in California\u2019s social safety net, lawmakers will face the difficulty of addressing a twenty billion dollar deficit. Critics of the Governor\u2019s State of the State address say that his agenda fails to adequately prepare California for the assured budgetary woes in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Anthony Wright, Executive Director of Health Access California and Regular Columnist for California Progress Report.<\/em>  <\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health-access.org\">www.health-access.org<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/healthaccess\">www.twitter.com\/healthaccess<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/healthaccess\">www.facebook.com\/healthaccess<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave his final State of the State address yesterday before lawmakers in Sacramento.
