The California Majority Report // Longest Budget Delay in Modern ...

By indefinitely delaying the budget process, by refusing to consider methods of closing the budget gap that don't involve gimmicks, borrowing, raiding local government and public transportation reserves, or draconian cuts to services, Republican hostage takers in the legislature have created a crisis situation in our state. The pain may be most felt at our state's smaller health clinics :

"The plan also would close the state's $15.2-billion gap with the help of $1.4 billion in service cuts beyond those already proposed by the governor and Democrats. The additional cuts would affect dozens of programs. Cash grants intended for the children of needy families, in-home care for the elderly and disabled, and financial aid for college students would all be reduced.

You sure your want the voters to referee this thing, Republicans? As a Democrat, I appreciate your attempts to try and make more GOP-held districts competitive for us this year, but we'll allow you to at least untie one hand from behind your back, provided you use it to sign onto a budget compromise that incorporates the new revenue needed to prevent you from being skewered at the ballot box.
