California budget is signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger

By KSEE News

SACRAMENTO (AP) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has
signed the state's $143 billion spending plan after the longest
budget deadlock in state history.
The governor's signature, which comes on the 85th day after the
start of the fiscal year, frees up billions in payments to medical
clinics, nursing homes, daycare centers and contract vendors.
It won't, however, finish the budget battle. That will be up to
voters, who will be asked to tie up the agreement's loose ends
during a special election next year.
The impasse dragged because lawmakers dug into a partisan
standoff to close the state's $15.2 billion deficit.
Republicans opposed any tax increase, while Democrats sought to
combine budget cuts with higher taxes on corporations and the
wealthiest Californians.
