RINO California Gov. Arnold's 6 Tax-Hike Propisitions Go Down In Flames

Only one of the six propositions on the California ballot passed. The only one to pass was about freezing pay raises for legislators when the state’s running a deficit. California's Governor and his allies outspent critics of his propositions 10 to 1 to gain support for the measures, to no avail. The AFP reports that "California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was dealt a crushing defeat as voters rejected a series of ballot initiatives designed to help plug the state’s spiraling budget deficit… Schwarzenegger had warned that failure of the proposals would leave California grappling with a budget shortfall of around 21.3 billion dollars. But weary voters were unwilling to heed Schwarzenegger’s deficit warnings and came out broadly against the ballot proposals, by margins of around 60-70 percent to 40-30 percent, local media reported." CBS reports that "an angry electorate soundly defeated a slate of special election budget measures Tuesday, a decision that left Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers holding virtually nothing but a scalpel to deal with California's $21.3 billion shortfall. The results for the ballot propositions mark a new low for the Republican governor, who struggled to live up to a campaign pledge to restore fiscal stability to the most populous state in the nation."
