Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement regarding the state budget:
“I will veto any majority vote tax increase bill that punishes taxpayers for Sacramento’s failure to live within its means. The legislature will have a difficult time explaining to Californians why they are running floor drills the day before our budget deadline. We do not have time for any more floor drills or partial solutions. It’s time for the legislature to send me a budget that solves our entire deficit without raising taxes.”
