California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has followed through so far on his pledge not to include a tax hike in his budget plan for 2004-05. Of course, given Golden State’s situation and laws, his plan would not sell here ? it still includes about $2 billion in new debt to finance current operations. But it also apparently includes significant savings in areas such as education spending. Democrats are calling for a soak-the-rich tax bill to fix things. Naturally.
