Don’t worry, it’s coming. **Everyone** is getting hit. IMHO, this is just the beginning.
BTW, yes, we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem, but nobody is willing to address the real problems (illegal immigration and pension reform). Schools, prisons, and social infrastructure (as well as physical infrastructure) are all heavily impacted by illegal immigration. If employers want them here, that’s fine; but they need to pay for them and all their dependents out of their own pockets. There is no reason for taxpayers to subsidize the profits of employers who hire illegal immigrants.

Payroll cuts:
The governor plans to end three-day-a month furloughs by July, which have resulted in a 14 percent pay cut for state employees. In its place, he wants to reduce worker salaries by five percent, increase their monthly pension contribution to CalPERS and order department heads to reduce personnel to achieve a further 5 percent reduction in payroll.
