Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger: “I will not give the traditional state of the state address here today because the reality is that our state is incapacitated until we solve the budget crisis. The truth is that California is in a state of emergency.”

The Democrats did not give an official response as they have in the past. Instead, our broadcast includes individual reactions from Democratic and Republican legislative leaders.

Jeffrey Callison of Capital Public Radio hosts, with analysis from California Capitol Network Bureau Chief Marianne Russ, the California Budget Project's Executive Director Jean Ross, Republican political strategist Sal Russo, Director of the Institute for the Study of Politics and Media Barbara O’Connor, and more.
