Nunez knew he had to say something cause his phone was ringing off the wall from those who might lose their state positions.
But Arnoold has them in a box, since the budget bill has been passed and he signs it tomorrow, and now he can start cutting and reorganizing and their complaints will be muted.
He is not removing programs , just removing people.....
Hehehehe!!!
And I guess this reduction is by attrition, which means the unions are powerless to stop it. It probably also means a gradual shift toward contracting-out of some functions now done by state employees. This should get interesting. I think Arnold's ability to connect with the wide-swath of Californians is even greater than Reagan's ability when he was governor. Arnold's strength seems to be his ability to reach out directly to the people, and stirring them up to positive action.
