Brown's emergency proclamation re-affirms one called by former
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in early December. The key is
the timing. Under such an order, the legislature is required
to address the budget problems within 45 days. That time
period expired yesterday. Brown's new proclamation re-sets
that. After 45 days, lawmakers are not allowed to take up
anything other than budget-related legislation. Brown is
working to convince lawmakers to adopt his budget proposal.
It includes deep cuts and an extension of tax increases to close
the 25 billion dollar budget gap.
