Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed budget cuts to state employee pay, furloughs and other state services during a rally at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif.  State employees opposed a a long-term pension reform plan that Schwarzengger had inserted into negotiations he was having with lawmakers to close California's $26.3 billion budget deficit.  Schwarzenegger has withdrawn his plan, calling it a distraction to budget talks, but said he would press for pension reform as past of a policy discussion after the budget deficit is resolved.
