SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday proposed $4.4 billion in new taxes and a similar amount in spending cuts to deal with California's worsening fiscal crisis, saying, "We must stop the bleeding."
Much of the new revenue would come from a 1.5-percentage-point increase in the sales tax; the Republican governor described the hike as temporary but did not say how long it would last.
"We have a dramatic situation here and it takes dramatic solutions ... and immediate action," Schwarzenegger said as he called the Legislature back into session to deal with the budget shortfall.
The governor said $4.5 billion in cuts will be necessary across all state programs, including education, social services, health care and prisons.

Between he and McClintock, both touting a platform of fiscal conservatism, they won 65+ % of the vote.

Philadelphia mayor outlines drastic budget cuts 5 hours ago
PHILADELPHIA — "Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter says the city will need to close libraries, suspend planned tax reductions, furlough some employees, lay off others and cut salaries for some high-level administrators — including himself.
Nutter outlined the drastic budget cuts in a live, televised address. The address is a rarity and represents an attempt to convey the seriousness of the dire financial situation.
Nutter said in his address Thursday that the city is facing a deficit of $108 million this year. Officials say that could grow to more than $1 billion over five years.
The mayor says the fiscal problems stem from the same troubles overwhelming the national and global economies.
He says the road ahead is rocky, but that the city will emerge stronger, prosperous and more efficient."
Great, pour gas on the fire.....Yea, that will work in this economy.
