California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced a deal with legislators to close a $26 billion gap in the state's budget shortfall. Lawmakers in the state capital, Sacramento, are expected to vote on the deal Thursday. Mike O'Sullivan reports, the agreement could put California's troubled economy back on track, but some critics are angry with its provisions. Others say it ignores ongoing problems.
