Brown signs California budget on time - Wire - Lifestyle - bellinghamherald.com
Ooh!
Ooh!
The terse signing ceremony, on the final day of the fiscal year, capped a long and arduous path to closing a $26.6 billion deficit that led to significant cuts in government services and no tax extensions.
Brown was flanked by Assembly Speaker John Perez, and Senate leader Darrell Steinberg, Democrats who pushed through the $86 billion budget on a newly allowed majority vote after negotiations with Republicans failed.
