Small business owners were outraged when Schwarzenegger, a Republican, proposed a 4 percent fee. They are likely to fight hard against any higher fee. But a close look at the statement, issued on Tuesday, makes it clear that employer fees will be a major point of contention in negotiations between the governor and the speaker.
By contrast, labor union supporters of Nunez have sought a much higher fee than 6.5 percent. They fear that lower fees would encourage employers to save money by dropping coverage and merely paying the fee.
