Also, can’t get savings in schools – Prop 98 sets a minimum guarantee. So even if enrollement declines, funding stays flat and just doesn’t grow. That’s why you hear teachers unions yelling about “cuts” when really they just aren’t growing at previous levels.[/quote]Oh you could get funds from the schools, prop 98 allows 3 different formulas to fund, and this year the GUbinator is using the least used one. It will cut 7 billion in future school spending, I think by mostly not allowing preprogramed increases to take effect.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/01/14/MNS4159KA4.DTL&type=printableParticipantI dont think cutting school days will do much good. Schools suck enough as is. Id be more interested in cutting back on some of the extra stuff schools engage in that isnt really necessary. Field trips and such that really are excuses to not have to do anything for a day.
I am sure there is fat in there, it just depends on your definition of fat.I would be alot more interested in finding out that it doesnt take 6 months to layoff a state employee. Start the process, fine, but it should take two weeks or so, maybe a month, but not 5-6 months. They will prob spend more money trying to layoff people than they would save from laying them off, what with all the consultants they would have to hire and all.

February 17, 2009 at 11:09 AM in reply to: The joys of renting from the ‘Mom and Pop’ outfits #347726ParticipantId argue that you should base the above on the current LL. Hopefully you have become more adept at finding LL’s who are good, rather than ones who are trying to take advantage of you.
I just rented a new place. I asked the LL’s straight out, “If we rent this place, what is your policy/habit on returning deposits. Can we speak to your former tenants about this.”
1 LL balked and said no, that they had no way of contacting the previous tenant even though earlier in the tour they had talked about “keeping in touch” with them. We RAN like the wind.
1 LL showed the place to us with the tenant still in it. They were very forthcoming about the fact that they loved the LL and were sorry to leave.
1 gave us a phone number, we called and were told there were no problems, great LL, etc etc.
Id say 2 pro LL reviews, 1 negative, says that there are good LL and bad ones.
To also be fair, 1 tried to pull a bait and switch on us too. They advertised one that was a great deal, then when we contacted them about it they started offering us other properties that were not a good deal instead. (Funny, why did you post that one with the great deal 5 mintes ago if it was rented already??????)
