Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger may not have gotten any of his massive infrastructure plan through the Legislature in time to appear on the June 6 ballot, but he is continuing to try and hammer home the message with voters... this week, on education.

Last week, the Senate failed to take up two bond measures approved by the Assembly-- one for levee repair and flood protection, the other for a number of education projects. The Senate adjourned before the bills could be delivered, and the dispute was partly over the notion that education projects should be placed on the ballot before infrastructure needs in areas like transportation.

This week, the governor apparently has decided to reaffirm his support for the $19.4 billion education bond that the Senate failed to consider. Advisers say his entire public schedule this week will focus on education needs addressed in the bond proposal, SB 69-- including money for K-12 classroom construction, charter schools, and higher education.

"The Senate needs to take [the proposal] up immediately," Schwarzenegger said today in Fresno. And at the weekly press briefing back here in Sacramento, advisers laid out a rough sketch of the governor's weekly itinerary, which will likely include education events up and down the state.

It remains to be seen whether the strategy will place any new pressure on infrastructure talks with legislators, although it's common knowledge that education continues to poll as one of the most important issues for California voters.
