Today at Fresno City Hall, Governor Schwarzenegger called it a sham, irresponsible, the state budget compromise proposal hammered out by the legislature and passed Tuesday morning.

The governor says he wants a rainy day fund with 12.5 billion, it's the one demand legislators did not agree on, on Tuesday.

He also says the budget punishes taxpayers.

The governor says he plans to meet with lawmakers again on Thursday and as often as possible until a state budget can be agreed upon that he too is willing to sign off on.

The legislators dragged the budget out so long and it doesn't fix anything. If 24 is on our side then way don't you show us by helping the Governor hold the legislators to the mat instead of portraying him as the bad guy way people don't get paid. If the legislators did their job it would of pasted long ago. Be on our side guys make-em do it right!
