An Alameda Superior Court judge has delayed $256 million in budget cuts to a state program that provides child care assistance to low-income families.
The funding cut for CalWORKs Stage 3 Child Care was part of the nearly $1 billion in line-item veto cuts Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made to the budget passed earlier this month.
Cuts to the program, which provides child care subsidies to parents who have secured employment after going through California's welfare-to-work program, were scheduled to take effect Monday.

This post was updated to clarify that the lawsuit targets the Department of Education's implementation of the cuts, not Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's authority to make the cuts.
If cuts cannot be made, then the whole state goes under. Then it’s good times for everyone.
Just take the money out of the judicial budget then
The governor should reduce the judges salaries and staff to make up the difference.
Hey, you should run for office. ;O)
Oh; we’ve seen situations like this from a tyrannical black robe out of CA before..Wish I could recall the story now...its becoming a running theme on the coasts.
heh-heh...nice.
Most states don’t allow you to cut judicial salaries.
But you can axe the staff. Let’s see the guy in the black robe try to file the pleadings and copy and mail all his orders.
Does this sound like a legal argument to you?
“RE :”Parent Voices Oakland and four parents who were expecting to lose child care filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education seeking to temporarily delay the implementation of the cuts, arguing that they could jeopardize the jobs of working parents of 56,000 children across the state who could lose child care as a result of the funding cuts. Alameda Superior Court Judge Wynne Carvill issued an order today halting the cuts until a Thursday hearing on the merits of the lawsuit. “
Does this sound like a legal argument to you?”
To a democrat or illegal alien they are owed I guess.
So we’re paying for childcare for 56,000 kids?
Whew...
