SACRAMENTO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a fiscal emergency to address California's deficit and has ordered state offices closed three days a month to save cash.
The Legislature will have 45 days to send him a plan to balance the state's budget, which ended the fiscal year with a $24.3 billion deficit. The shortfall is expected to grow by $7 billion because the Legislature did not enact several stopgap measures Tuesday.
If lawmakers fail to act within the 45 days, they cannot adjourn or act on other bills until they solve the crisis.

“Schwarzenegger declares Calif. fiscal emergency”
Took him long enough. Wonder what his first hint was? No sweat, Schwarzenidiot...just add some more illegal aliens to Medicaid. That’ll make you a hero and solve your problems.
My advice Arnie. Fire everyone, including yourself and start over from scratch
Poll: Most blame Democrats for California budget stalemate

Dem’Rats are smack dab at the top of the poll, followed by voters, Republicans and then the GUb.
Feds could seize Calif. parks if closed by budget (threaten to seize 6 state parks if closed)

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a fiscal emergency...
LOL!
Horse.
Barn door.
Ass.
State office close three days a month!? Oh, the humanity!
If good people weren’t getting hurt by this it would be hilarious. Liberals actually having to face responsible spending. I think their little heads are going to explode.
Two words: Cut spending.
A few billion here, a few billion there...ayyy..no big deal right? It's Kaleeforneeaa where leeches and termites rule from precipice of fantasy!
If I understand the law correctly this is a procedural matter that cannot be undertaken until the statutory deadline (June 30) has passed. This is the first day the declaration was available.
Is that Manuel from Fawlty Towers?
Umm .. are you aware of where FR originated?
... sick and tired of people thinking its OK, or even correct for that matter, to bash all Californians because of the pinheads that LA and SF send to the legislature...
Who’ll take odds on how long it is before Obama and the Congress pass a RESCUE/BAILOUT bill for Kalifornia? We oughtta start a Freeper pool... But that might be construed as illegal ;-)
Basil Fawlty: Ah, Manuel? There is too much butter on those trays.
Manuel: Que?
Basil Fawlty: [speaking slowly] There is too much butter on those trays.
Manuel: Ah, no senor. No “on those trays”...
[counting the trays]
Manuel: “uno, dos, tres”.
Let California go under, I have no sympathy since the people of that state voted the morons into their respective offices.
Even though this will have a major impact on the rest of the country we need to stay out of it and let the hurt radiated outward.
You must hit rock bottom before you can figure out how to help yourself and if the rest of the country feels the pain they may get off their duffs and reinstate our Constitution.
