The Legislature's nonpartisan analyst, Elizabeth Hill, provided her own sneak preview Monday, and it wasn't pretty. Hill said that the governor's proposals, if adopted by the Legislature, would likely result in a new shortfall approaching $8 billion in the fiscal year that begins in the summer of 2006. As I recall, Arnold promised to, "cut up the credit cards," if voters authorized borrowing $15 billion.
So, the voters gave him the money and what does he do?
An $8 billion deficit two years out isn't even close. I have yet to hear about a significant layoff or a single major program cut. This with the additional burden he has placed on local government to raise taxes to stay afloat.
What a gutless weasel.
