For the Good of Calli-FOR-nee-a

At the least, you should contact your State Assembly Person and State Senator. Tell them that they have failed at their most important job - to craft a state budget. To avoid being fired (aka voted out of office), they must all get off of their soap boxes, and realize that a budget will contain cuts as well as new taxes if the State of California is to function.

The Republicans want to rely on failed business plans - does recession mean anything to them? And the Democrats want to protect too many programs. Make some choices and get together on this budget. If neither side will budge, the State has no budget.

Join the Griswolds in expressing your outrage at the lack of budget. Remember, State Assembly and State Senators work for all of us. Let them know that the State of California needs a budget now, this week.
