Capitol Alert

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today set a special recall election for June 3 in Sen. Jeff Denham's 12th Senate District.

Denham, a Central Valley Republican, ticked off Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata when he helped prolong a 52-day budget standoff. The state Democratic Party and a committee tied to Perata spent nearly $300,000 to gather more than 61,000 signatures to qualify the recall.

Voters will be asked if they want to recall Denham and to pick a replacement should the recall succeed. The June 3 recall coincides with the regularly scheduled state primary election.
