THe $19.1 Bil is for the 2010-11 budget year. The trillions are for the unfunded future debt for pensions, etc, etal.
Regardless, I believe that the $19B is still a lowball number for the year and the state is in worse shape than we’re being told.
Next year will be the same, and the next, and the next, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Walking a wire. Personally, the state needs to blow up fiscally to force the changes needed to hopefully move towards solvency again.
