California Gov. Schwarzenegger declares state of Emergency in Humboldt County due to wildfires and unhealthy air quality
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today declared a state of emergency in Humboldt County as a result of the numerous wildfires that have led to unprecedented smoke conditions and unhealthy air quality.
After the previous legislature's inaction in both addressing the state's $11.2 billion current year revenue shortfall and enacting economic stimulus in the last legislative special session, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today declared a fiscal emergency for the state of California, allowing him to call a Proposition 58 legislative special session to address this emergency.
