Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a budget for the state of California on October 8th, one hundred days into the fiscal year, ending the longest budget stalemate in the state’s history. As in previous years, a major battle over the budget caused an impasse that had direct and immediate impacts on the ability of government agencies to provide services. Since California is one of three states in the nation requiring a two-thirds super majority to pass the budget, balancing the books often turns into a bitter partisan battle with the Republican minority holding out their voting bloc for spending cuts and business tax breaks. Proposition 25 on next week’s ballot would require only a simple majority to pass the budget. According to a new LA Times\/USC poll, the measure has 58% support among likely voters. The state budget eventually signed for this year after much wrangling was subjected to the Governor’s line-item veto. Schwarzenegger cut over a billion dollars in spending from the General fund and reduced special and bond funds by well over $100 million. His cuts will eliminate the state program called CalWORKs\u2019 \u201cStage 3\u201d child care effective November 1. The California Budget Project, a non-profit, non-partisan organization, analyzed the budget including the Governor’s line item vetoes. <\/p>\n
