According to the Governor's timeline, we have 3 days until we hit Wednesday, March 10th -- when he needs the legislature to approve the June ballot option to extend our taxes in California. As such, things have become increasingly interesting. Most recently, there is ballot language proposal released by the Governor to manage this situation along with a trailer bill. Actually, the Governor was somewhat humorous in his Biblical references regarding the attempt to persuade Republicans to join the cause.
However, the basic dilemma continues between the Republicans and Democrats in a game of "chicken." Dan Walters has one of the more compelling columns on the problem. The essential problem is that the game has changed with Prop 25 in November.
3 -- 2 -- 1 ...the clock is ticking and the outcome is critically important not only for schools and children BUT to all of California. We will see what happens. Wind your watch!!
