Schwarzenegger calls special session

The governor will declare a fiscal emergency and bring in newly sworn state legislators early next month to start dealing with the budget issues that couldn't or wouldn't be dealt with in the previous legislature. Schwarzenegger, who still has another couple of months in his term, made his move a day after the state's chief budget analyst said the shortfall had grown to $25.4 billion - $6.1 billion of that in the current fiscal year.
