State budget bill isn't worth passing

| No Comments

For all the time the governor and the Legislature put in on the budget deal, you'd think it would be more thoughtful than the document patched together by budget negotiators. As today's editorial in The Fresno Bee says, it could have been "written on the back of a napkin for all the thought that has gone into it."

You can read the editorial by clicking here. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislators need to come up with a better budget package that solves the state's financial problems fairly and without accounting gimmicks.

Unfortunately, the Assembly and Senate leaders will try to ram the budget through the Legislature today. But there is some resistance and it could be a long day in Sacramento.
