Congratulations to Arnold. He finally has one real victory.
"Two nasty legal fights over Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2008 and 2009 budget actions are now history, with the governor winning both battles today in the California Supreme Court.
But on the furloughs, future governors should be careful not to read too much into this victory, as there's good reason to see it as a one-time deal.
The state's highest court sided with Schwarzenegger in two separate questions related to the bitter battle that erupted during the height of the recession: the furlough of state workers and the line-item vetoes contained inside an almost unprecedented budget modification bill."
After losing about $10 billion in lawsuits do to his illegal acts as Governor, he has won one. Plus he has had $140 billion in deficits, and the new "budget" starts with a $9.5 billion deficit.
The better news is that he is gone in about 96 days!
