SACRAMENTO Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's unilateral move to provide a down payment on the $2.6 billion he promised local government brought down the wrath of several leading Democrats Thursday who accused him of jeopardizing the state's financial health and robbing the poor to help the rich.

WOW!

Next thing you know they will accuse ?Arnoold of causing the $38 Billion deficit!!!!

"I've asked (the Democratic leadership) over and over again to join me and give back to the local governments the money that we owe them; and even though time is running out for (them) and they're stranded with no money, our legislators have left town,' Schwarzenegger said during a Capitol news conference surrounded by dozens of local officials.

Man, this is the best article I've read in awhile..I was smiling all the way through it. It's pretty obvious Arnold beat them at their own game on this one.
