If the budget doesn't pass, state employees won't get paid (or will get paid minimum wage) and the state's economy will be in turmoil. Don't you just love it? For victory & freedom!!!

Do the state "workers" get reimbursed their lost wages when a budget is signed? If so we don't win a thing. Hopefully they won't and a lot of them will quit and find another job and reduce the state payroll that are going out for mostly unneeded so called services.

"Owie! I got a booboo on my finger!" budget wise, cries the Bee.
Fresno County gets 5.8 million dollars of its 1.44 BILLION dollar county budget from Williamson Act reimbursements... and the Fresno Bee is bawling about it.
$5.8 million is just FOUR TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT of their budget! That is insignificant to the overall picture of disaster we are seeing at the State level.
Perhaps the counties should be considering why they assess such large taxes on farmland that the Williamson Act is necessary to prevent them being sold for more profitable purposes??? Or perhaps they should reconsider the whole idea of property taxes which is based on the idea that simply because it exists it should be taxed.
