California: Officials might not get “rainy day fund” measure on ballot
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has demanded that lawmakers put a measure on the ballot to strengthen the state’s “rainy-day fund” as part of any budget agreement he signs this year. The question is, when? Lawmakers are able to place measures on the Nov. 2 ballot even though they missed election deadlines two months ago. Still, state leaders are approaching logistical deadlines that would make it difficult for counties to add another measure to the ballot, election officials say.
