State Budget Squeeze: Postsecondary panel stares at abyss

Gov. Gray Davis' proposed budget cuts hit many government agencies hard, but one of the biggest blows was suffered by the California Postsecondary Education Commission, which faces virtual elimination.

The commission, which collects higher education data for the state and advises the Legislature and governor's administration on higher education policy, will be left with only three of its 46 positions under Davis' proposal.

Get this:

"Making budget reductions wasn't easy," McLean said. "But that's what the governor was elected to do."

They may be associated with the group that publicly refused to pony up a million to his re-election campaign. I assume that such a panel would consist mainly of old teachers-union hacks.

As Angelique wisely posted on another graydavis thread....these Dumbocrats are great at raising mega-bucks for
themselves to serve their own arrogant ambitions. The people's business is just a nuisance to self-absorbed DemonRats.

The 'Postsecondary Commission'?

Thank you for the compliment. On that cash cow thread, I forgot to ping you, and will do so. Snopercod really asked a good question.

Gee, I wonder if governors like Grey Davis are making sudden cuts in funding for basic services in order to preserve pet projects like Head Start and whatnot. How often does that happen during recessions, do ya think? I wonder if he's still angling for a cabinet position or the presidency.

Ah....
