Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said today that he would not re-open broad negotiations over the state budget -- despite the demand of the new Republican leader in the Senate to remove proposed tax increases -- and told lawmakers to "hold tight" in the effort to win passage of a $41 billion package.

What a disappointment...

I just called Schwartzeneggers office and the lady there said that as of last night there were three votes needed to pass the budget, and that the Governator doesn’t know what he is going to do. She said he doesn’t want to start from scratch on the budget, but doesn’t know what will happen now that there is a new minority leader.
