There apparently is a budget deal. Lots of cuts, lots of borrowing, lots of gimmicks. But from the briefings I have had so far, the cuts are substantial, with mega-billions that are permanent. I am told that the final deal will be in print and available for public perusal for at least 24 hours… Vote Thursday… Check out Capitol Weekly's website for more details.

Gimmicks indeed: Raiding local and county government funds by robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Bass and Steinberg got to keep their “Safety Net” programs and the GOP got screwed AGAIN!
There will be good fights in coming local elections this November and legislative contests in 2010!

The Budget Fix is an embarrassment and the
“legistlators” in Sac should be ashamed – but they won’t be. It is all about special interests and getting re-elected and I’m not talking about just the Dems….
