The
Governor of the formerly great state of California signed the $202
billion dollar budget yesterday. The budget is unusual in that it
acknowledges the existence of magical creatures, specifically the Money
Fairy.
The
budget is resumed to have a $54 billion structural deficit. Among the
things to plug this deficit is the state will withhold $2.5 billion from
local governments if they do not enforce the Governor's rules on
mandatory wearing of masks while in public. Strange, but he screams
like a mashed cat if the feds threaten to withhold federal money when
the state refuses to obey federal law regarding immigration matters.
The state is also deferring kick-downs to various agencies, mostly school districts and state colleges and universities.
The
state will also impose a 2 day per month furlough on state employees to
don't "volunteer" to take it up the ass by way of a 10% pay cut.
The
really fun part is the planned visit from the Money Fairy. The
governor sort-of presumes-hopes-prays that the Money Fairy will come by
from D.C. and drop about $50 billion in his lap just because. You never
know. It could happen.
