Jerry Brown has said all along that he could meet the deadline he set up for himself, March 10.  In case you aren’t looking at your calendar right now, that’s this Thursday.  Inn furtherance of that goal, he recently met with a group of Republican legislators to discuss possible compromises.  It didn’t go well.

Gov. Jerry Brown in budget talks said today that they have reached an impasse.<\/p>\n

“We accepted your invitation to bring you our ideas on important structural reforms and willingly took to heart your admonition ‘to get out of our comfort zone,’ the senators said in a letter to the Democratic governor. “Although it is clear that you engaged in our conversations seriously, it appears we have reached an impasse in our discussions about how to move the state forward.”<\/p>\n

The letter may explain Brown’s glum attitude at an appearance this morning, where he said he does not yet have the Republican support to put his tax extension measure on the ballot and may not meet his Thursday budget deadline. (SacBee<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brown has now admitted that his timeline might not be realistic<\/a> at this point, and that seems like quite the understatement.  Despite everything that he’s done to bring this to some sort of ridiculous austerity budget, we are really no closer to where we were on the day of his inauguration.<\/p>\n

An impasse indeed.<\/p>\n

Catch the letter over the flip.<\/p>\n
