Governor Vetoes Budget Bill
January 07, 2009
Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed the Democrats state budget for 2009. Although Schwarzenegger had insisted upon a "stimulus package" that would include a revision to state labor laws, including elimination of the 8-hour workday and loosening of the state's meal and rest period claims, the governor's press release made little mention of labor laws or wage and hour issues, except as they pertained to cutting hours of state workers to decrease government spending.
