Senators voted 34-0 against the governor's plan to cap spending. The governor's bond measure also lost, with only five lawmakers, all Democrats,
voting for it and 14 lawmakers voting no.
Earlier Friday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger quietly gave the green light to a plan to borrow $10.7 billion without voter approval -- a plan he had
previously criticized.
[Saaaagenhaft - der Staat wie er leibt und lebt!]
The plan was authorized by the Legislature last summer as part of the budget agreement signed by former Gov. Gray Davis.
Schwarzenegger said shortly after being elected in the Oct. 7 recall election that voters should approve the bonds -- and has said for weeks there
would be no alternative to his proposal to put a $15 billion bond measure on the spring ballot.
But Friday, members of the California Fiscal Recovery Financing Authority voted to move forward with the $10.7 billion bond sale. The governor
controls five of the seven members of the board.
[Wer die Titel kauft, sollte namentlich bekannt gemacht werden - dann vergeht's denen schon]
Taxpayer groups and many Republican lawmakers had criticized the Davis bond deal, arguing that voters should approve borrowing of that magnitude.
[Na ja, wie gehabt - offenbar kommt die finale Phase schneller als gedacht - diese kalifornische Varainte des Budgetrechts hat was!]
