With Arnold Schwarzenegger turning in an incomplete prison plan, I found some humor in this:

The tax commission will not submit its recommendations to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger this weekend, despite his executive order marking Sunday as the deadline.

While the main contents of the recommended package are generally known – a new form of value-added tax for businesses, lower income tax, no state sales tax – the Commission on the 21st Century’s staff is finalizing language around the edges on issues that were discussed in Monday’s final meeting, such as deductions for medical expenses.

Back where I come from, you get 30% credit deducted if you’re a day late, and no credit after that.
