Governor Vetoes New Budget-$42 Billion Deficit and Counting

Even though the Governator said he would veto the proposed budget plan, I did not think he would.

According to the SF Gate:

The 16-bill package went to Schwarzenegger despite his earlier promise to reject it. His veto moved the Legislature back to square one - the state bleeding revenue and expected to run short of cash to pay its bills as early as next month.

"It was wishful thinking on (the Democrats') part," said Aaron McLear, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger. "The governor said three weeks ago that he would veto this budget, and they have sent to him the exact same budget, which he had said he would veto."

He has decided to work for a bipartisan solution. However history has shown he cant get the votes from his party to get to get this mythical bipartisan budget.
