*Brown says he has no Republican votes

And he has very little time left. The governor needs two Republicans in each house to support his budget package, which includes asking voters to extend temporary sales, income and vehicle tax hikes for another five years. They're not there, he told reporters. Efforts at a compromise that would bring pension reform into the budget talks also seem dead, at least as of this morning. Deadline is Thursday. (AP)

*Update: Five Republican senators say they've reached an impasse in trying to work out a compromise with Gov. Jerry Brown. They said that their proposals for a spending cap and for pension, tax and regulatory reforms were either rejected or greatly watered down. (Capitol Alert)
