Schwarzenegger Orders Job Cuts Amid Fiscal Crisis

[Aecetia]

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday, trying to avoid a “full-blown” financial crisis in California, eliminated 22,000 part-time and temporary positions and ordered that 200,000 state workers receive the federal minimum wage.

His signing of the executive order had been expected since last week but is a stark illustration of the cash problem facing the nation’s most populous state.

Lawmakers have yet to agree on a spending plan a month after the state’s fiscal year began, leaving California without the ability to pay contractors, the higher education system and legislative employees.

Here comes the showdown at the O.K. Corral:

“But the governor’s order is certain to come under immediate challenge. The state controller has said he will not comply, in part because he said the move is likely to invite lawsuits from employee unions. Controller John Chiang, a Democrat, has said he will defy the order and issue employees their regular paychecks, setting up a potential legal skirmish between his office and Schwarzenegger’s.”

They’ve been too busy banning trans fat to work on something as irrelevant as a state budget.

I mean, it’s not like the budget means anything to anybody in Sac anyways. They’ll still spend whatever the hell they want.

This is NOT off topic at all! These job cuts are a tip of the iceberg of the economic instability and pain CA will suffer due to housing bust. Unfortunately, it makes more productive and better off Californians vote with their feet (or U-Hauls) compounding the crisis. Think of what signal it sends to an investor or skilled person thinking of moving to CA.
