Former Vice President Al Gore, left, stopped by 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' to discuss his box-office hit 'An Inconvenient Truth,' the documentary that chronicles his crusade to stop global warming Thursday June 8, 2006. When asked by Jay what it feels like to be treated like a movie star, Gore joked that he's currently in a feud with Lindsay Lohan. Jay also asked whether the film's success has garnered him any movie offers. Gore replied, 'I have had offers. But, frankly Jay, when you refuse to do nude scenes it really cuts down your opportunities.' And finally, Jay asked the former Vice President whether he will run for President again. Gore responded, 'I do not have plans to be a candidate again. I am involved in a kind of campaign, and it's not for a candidacy--it's for a cause.' (AP Photo/NBC)
Al Gore and the Gubby seem to agree

Balanced Budget. In addition to the existing requirement that the Governor propose a balanced budget, this measure requires that the state enact a budget that is balanced. Specifically, estimated revenues would have to meet or exceed estimated expenditures in each year.
