The good news? California has a signed budget - signed almost on time for the first time in years!
The bad news?
'The budget does not address the state’s backlog of budget obligation accumulated during the past decade of non-structural responses to prior budget solutions. Furthermore, whether the budget will remain in-balance through the end of fiscal 2012 rests on the continued favorable performance of state tax revenues and on the deficit-reducing efficacy of some of the adopted solutions.”'
What do you think the chances are of THAT??
