Governor May Turn Down Convention Invite

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCBS) -- Governor Schwarzenegger and three other high-profile Californians were chosen today to address the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota next month; however, the governor may have to decline his invitation if state lawmakers are unable to pass a budget.

Schwarzenegger, who has been selected to speak on the opening night of the GOP convention, is scheduled to speak the same night as former Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman, Vice President Cheney and President Bush.

While it may seem like the speaking engagement of a lifetime, Schwarzenegger may have to miss the convention entirely. The governor tells KCBS that if the state budget isn't settled by then, he will not attend the convention at all. He says he is focused completely on budget negotiations and can't even think about giving a speech in Minnesota two weeks from now.
