CMR will have more on this later, but our state's long collective nightmare is nearing an end. Once Arnold slashes an additional $700 million, clinics, community colleges, adult care centers, and small business vendors will finally be reimbursed by a state held hostage by 52 days of Senate Republican obstructionist tactics that resulted in only minimal budget adjustments. I'm sure the fine wine and cigars industries are disappointed.
