Non-salary CA budget cuts

[Eugene]

General fund spending breakdown from the original 2008-09 budget, excepting K-12 (which is, as we all know, underfunded compared to the rest of the country and we probably don’t want to cut K-12 any deeper than we are):

Health and Human Services 49.6%
Higher Education 19.3%
Corrections and Rehabilitation 16.5%
Legislative, Judicial, Executive 6.1%
Other 8.5%

In the HHS category, 40% of money goes to Medi-Cal and 20-25% to the Department of Social Services.

Higher Education category is almost entirely comprised by subsidies to UC/CSU/community college programs in order to keep the education affordable for locals.

Well the one good thing (if you have a sense of humor),

Neither L.A. or SD have any reserve funds for the Governator to steal, not so for the few well funded cities out there (unfortunately Temecula is one of the later I think).

Isn’t it pretty obvious that California will be getting the money to continue spending mostly from the federal government? Some CA taxes will be increased too, but that will cover way less than half of the shortfall. Spending probably will not even go down at all.

OK that takes care of this year, what do we do next year (or next december for that matter)???

While a somewhat bull on T.V. (at least to the price of production) I don’t see a return to the good old days anytime soon (which is where the current budget was set)
