So the teachers union got it's whiny way. Eureka City schools had already sent out 72 employee cuts and may make some more today. Borrowing future revenue just pushes the deficit out further.

If it fails, the governor will ask the Legislature to approve a temporary 1 cent increase in the state sales tax to pay for the reserve fund. It would last no more than three years.

There he goes - - Schwarzenneger said he would never raise taxes. So it's now official - - he's a lying scumbag.

Surprise, surprise...
