Schwarzenegger says raising taxes may be unavoidable

Advertisements [?]

Quoting:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hinted that raising taxes may be unavoidable, acknowledging he is under extreme pressure to increase the state's revenue to offset a $14 billion budget shortfall.

Schwarzenegger, who has opposed new taxes, said on Tuesday it would be "wishful thinking" to assume the state would not increase taxes.

I wonder what happened to all the fraud and waste he was supposed to find? And why wouldn't the republican minority block any tax increase? They did so when Grey Davis was governor.
