COMMENTS: Will Texas Hold ‘Em?
Reporting from Los Angeles, CBS' Bill Whitaker was obviously preoccupied with the $9bn that California will receive as part of the federal fiscal stimulus. It is arriving to help close the state's $42bn deficit "after a three month marathon budget session" in Sacramento. "The last push had legislators sleeping at their desks." Whitaker also noted an emerging split in Republican ranks at the state level: Alaska, Louisiana and Mississippi will likely refuse to accept funds, citing "philosophical objections;" the Republican-run states of Minnesota, Florida and California will take the Democrats' money. Texas has yet to decide.
