Governor Schwarzenegger’s State of the State speech tonight laid out yet another ambitious agenda, highlighted by plans for more borrowing for infrastructure needs over the next decade… and an aggressive agenda on everything from the environment to health care.

More specifics on the speech’s details tomorrow morning on The California Report. In the meantime, a few “SOS” tidbits from the event:

* A Little Early?: It appeared the official proceedings in the Assembly chambers took a little less time than had been expected, and when the legislators were ready for the governor, well he wasn’t quite ready for them. Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez looked around, thought for a moment, and then said, “We’re gonna turn it over to Senator [Don] Perata for a quick joke.” Everyone laughed. Another pause. Another look around. Then Nunez said, “We’ll be right back. Like they say on TV.” He didn’t have to wait too long, as the governor arrived moments later.

* Adlib #1– What A Difference 2 Years Make: No one will soon forget the 2005 State of the State where the governor threw down the gauntlet of ‘follow my lead or I’ll take everything to the ballot.’ Fast forward to tonight, where just before he began the section of the speech on another shot at political districting, Schwarzenegger threw in this adlib: “I don’t want to be a pest about that.” My, how times– and rhetoric– have changed.

* Adlib #2– Don’t Forget The Republicans! When the speech was handed out this afternoon, I noticed something, well, interesting in the section on health care. “You can feel that the time is right” for action, he would say. And then the script said: “Both leaders have said to me, ‘We will get this done.’” Ummm… I think that must be both Democratic leaders, and not his party’s two legislative leaders– Senate GOP Leader Dick Ackerman and Assembly GOP Leader Mike Villines. But when the governor got to that part of the speech, he quickly added: “My Republican friends said we will get it done.” Good catch, guv.

* On Those Bonds: The governor is calling for an additional $43.3 billion in bond offerings to finance his new infrastructure proposals, what his administration is calling part two of 2006’s Strategic Growth Plan. $29.4 billion of that would have to be approved by voters over the course of two elections, in 2008 and 2010. Most of that money would be for education needs. But as the focus groups conducted for this past fall’s Proposition 1D revealed, the voters are getting grumpy about constantly being asked for more money for schools.

* Sayonara High Speed Rail? In a pre-speech briefing with reporters, the Schwarzenegger administration said that Schwarzenegger’s bond proposal would essentially max out the state’s borrowing capacity for the next decade. So what about the idea of a ballot measure asking voters to approve bonds to build a high speed rail system through the Central Valley? After all, it was supposed to have been on the ballot already, but kept getting postponed. Administration officials said today that the high-speed rail project should be derailed… again, and perhaps indefinitely.
