New govs take office amid historic budget crisis (AP)

FILE - In this Dec. 14, 2010 file photo, California Gov.-elect Jerry Brown is seen at a public discussion of the state budget on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles. Twenty-six states elected new governors last month — 17 Republicans, 8 Democrats and one independent — and now they are going to have to reconcile their principles and campaign promises with some harsh fiscal realities. Brown, who ardently pursued innovative clean energy and environmental protection programs during his first stint in office, in the revenue-rich 1970s and '80s, will have to figure out this time how to close a budget gap projected at more than $25 billion. (AP Photo, File)AP - New York's incoming governor, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, says he won't raise taxes even though he will inherit a budget deficit of at least $9 billion when he takes office in January. Ohio Republican Gov.-elect John Kasich is promising to cut taxes, despite a shortfall of about $8 billion.
