The next two weeks will be very interesting in Sacramento

Governor Schwarzenegger is declaring a state of economic emergency and thus will be able to by-pass the legislator and give money to local governments, thus replacing the money local governments lost when the car tax was cut.

The money to pay for the funds going to local governments will come from state funding cuts. This will make for an interesting situation, local Democrats and Republicans will be happy, they have funding to operate, but those in Sacramento and those whose programs are going to be cut won’t be happy. This is likely to turn into fight between local and state instead of Republican and Democratic.
