State Senate President Pro Tem John Burton (D-San Francisco) said Schwarzenegger could not realistically avoid raising taxes, given California's dire fiscal condition. "He doesn't know anything about the budget; that's the problem," Burton said. "He could take probably up to $70 a month from the blind, aged and disabled; eliminate programs for the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill; eliminate aid to local law enforcement; and shut down a couple of state universities and some in the UC system, and that might balance the budget." Typical fear fantasy from a demo. No solutions offered...just try to create a fearful environment.
