Caps and cuts dominate governor's State of State
BUDGET: The governor promised to deliver the Legislature a "difficult" budget proposal Thursday that will cut programs across the board but not raise taxes. BUDGET REFORM: Schwarzenegger will propose a constitutional amendment, which would go before voters in November, that he says will end the ups and downs of California's budget process. The proposal essentially would set spending levels and deposit excess revenues in good years in a rainy-day fund to cover shortfalls in bad years. The Department of Finance would establish a long-term rate of revenue growth to determine when the state should save or spend out of the fund. SCHOOLS: He acknowledged "this is not the year to talk about money" for schools, but proposed a plan to work with Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell to intervene with 98 school districts out of compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act and make them "models of reform." California would be the first state to use the intervention powers under the federal law.
