Democrat BrownÂ’s declaration follows a similar one made last month by his predecessor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor.WTF was the Governator thinking?!
Oh, now it makes sense. We're still not sorry.
Brown was sworn in to his third term early this month and has presented lawmakers with a plan to balance the stateÂ’s books with $12.5 billion in spending cuts and revenue from tax extensions that voters must first approve.
Now both sides are equally pi$$ed.
Brown has said he wants lawmakers to act on his plan by March.
They'll act right after they make sure you have a birth certificate.
His fiscal emergency declaration is meant to underscore that target, an official said.
And also a nice little nod to the Governator. Most would call that a reality check. Let's see what the Dems do with it.
BrownÂ’s declaration, which is largely procedural, says it affirms SchwarzeneggerÂ’s December declaration, giving lawmakers 45 days to address the stateÂ’s fiscal troubles.
What Brown said: You have 45 days to figure it out.
What the lawmakers heard: You have 45 days to break the news to your union pimps.
