California lawmakers started back up today trying to secure one last vote for a $42-billion budget-balancing plan. From latimes.com:

... Two Senate Republicans were expected to vote for the package -- Dave Cogdill of Modesto, who played a role in negotiating the deal, and Roy Ashburn, a Bakersfield Republican in his final term. Among the concessions Ashburn won was a proposed $10,000 tax break for new home buyers.

This is ONLY for the purchase of NEWLY built homes -- must be a principal residence bought on or after March 1 this year and before March 1 2010.



This is not enough! Obama's plan for the nation is not enough for California! Call/EMail your Republican Senator, let them know that help is needed for falling Home Prices and Foreclosures!!!!
