California, as usual, doesn’t have a state budget on time. The Los Angeles Times is running a story about how California state employees do not want some of their pay delayed until the state has a budget. It’s a good thing we have journalists to tell us these things. I mean, who would have known that would be their reaction?
When you promise someone a certain amount of compensation by a certain time, you’d better honor that. People plan their lives around that sort of thing. Maybe if the public employee unions would support sensible state budgets, their lackeys in the Dem party would stop insisting we need to spend more and a budget could get passed on time. California has so much more revenue than just a few years ago, but spending is out of control.
