Governor Schwarzenegger says the possibility of federal stimulus money would be only a temporary solution to the state's budget problems.
"I always make it clear, we will not use that money to bail us out because we have to bail ourselves out. I think we have to be very careful not to look at them as a savior, but look at them as icing on a cake," said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass said the federal money should be part of any deal they hammer out to ease cuts to classrooms and social programs.
Thursday morning a Sacramento County Superior Court Judge sided with the governor in his bid to save money by forcing tens of thousands of state workers to take days off without pay.
