Government officials say basic services like health care, libraries and street maintenance are at risk if the state relies on local money to fix an estimated $20 billion budget shortfall -- California's worst deficit in a decade.

It's Called Living Beyond Your Means ... This State Has Been On a Roll for Years...Those who have been fiscally irresponsible have no one to blame but themselves and their leaders who blindly spent like there is no tomorrow.
DUMP DAVIS

ROFL!!
I am guessing that might have come from a James Bond episode.
Do you know! Of course I suspect some tweaking has occurred!

It's Davis as Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies. One of his catch phrases is "one MILLION dollars!"

Additional cuts could mean chipping away at programs and services that residents depend on, such as child care, libraries and parks. This is a paper in San Jose, for crying out loud! Why would people living in the most expensive real estate in the US depend on the state government for child care??? Might this be a place to (gasp) cut the budget?

At risk in San Mateo County are mental health and after-school homework programs. More waste!!!!
