Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the top four legislative leaders haggling over the state's $26.3 billion deficit plan today to debate the thorny issue of education spending.
Schwarzenegger wants to suspend Proposition 98, a 1988 voter-approved law that guarantees funding levels for K-12 schools and community colleges. Suspension of those rules would allow the state to make deep cuts to education spending.
