California Gov. Seeks Bail Out Money Too

If you'll recall, the Democrats didn't think too much of the Tea Party wildfire that spread across America in April.

Seems California voters were thinking a great deal about it, as reported by WorldNet Daily.

"....the day after state voters rejected Schwarzenegger's spending ballot measures, the California Citizens Compensation Commission voted to slash pay for the governor, legislators and statewide officeholders by 18 percent." -- Californians revolt, slash governor's pay

Reportedly, California will now have to deport many of the illegals they have in the prisons. Why were they NOT deported when they were caught? How much money has been spent keeping these Mexican Nationals in the CA prison system? Try $970 million dollars, and that is only for 2009. (State seeks more federal aid for cost of keeping illegal immigrant inmates).

Now that Gov. Schwarzenegger will be going to Washington to petition for federal "bail out" money, perhaps his leverage will be the failure of Congress to deliver on it's 15 year old promise to help pay the cost of housing the illegals.

California will receive close to $440 million in stimlus funds, however it appears this money is specifically for water projects. Maybe they could come up with some creative ways of using the water funding to help bail out the state.
