“Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way”; that’s what Governor Schwarzenegger says about healthcare reform, even though Republicans are more opposed to his plan than the Democrats. Also, a non-profit foundation has launched a $6 Million dollar television campaign for action before the legislature goes home three weeks from now.

Main Topic

Democratic Senate Leader Don Perata says the budget battle left Democrats and Republicans “battered and bruised” and just 3 weeks are left in the legislative session.  Today, leaders of both parties met with the Governor today to talk about top priorities.
