FR friend John Myers with KQED Public Radio had an opportunity to sit down with Governor Schwarzenegger for a one-on-one interview. Myers 30,000 foot take from the exchange was that the Governor is flexible in terms of ideas that legislators may have to come up with $24 billion in cuts to resolve the state’s fiscal imbalance, with so much more money budgeted to spend than is actually available. But Myers says that the Governor is resolute about his opposition to resolving the situation with any tax increases.
