According to FOX News, Arnold Schwarzenegger downplayed concerns that a bundle of California budget measures aimed at closing his state's deficit will not be approved by voters today, despite previous warnings that the state will have to make deep cuts if they fail.
"You win or you lose. And I think that we always will know how to move forward and make the adjustment," Gov. Schwarzenegger said in Washington, where he joined President Obama in announcing new auto efficiencey standards. "We always respect the will of the people."
Voters were participating in a special election today to weigh in on six state budget measures, five of which are expected to fail.
The governor told FOX News today that he was not looking for a "bailout" from Capitol Hill, but he acknowledged his state is in a bind and would have to tighten its belt.
"We have a major problem in California. And I think if we work together we can make it through this crisis," he said. "I didn't come for any bailout. We are going to make the necessary cuts. They're going to be fiscally disciplined. But we still need to work together in order to move forward and make everything function well in our state."
