Sacramento -- An appeals court on Wednesday severely restricted the state's ability to spend money -- including financing for schools -- if the governor has not signed a new budget by the July 1 deadline.

The California Court of Appeal in Los Angeles also said state workers could be paid only the federal minimum wage if the Legislature and Gov. Gray Davis fail to come up with a budget when the new fiscal year begins.

truth_seeker, wow. I sure struck a nerve, eh? I WORK for the state, not feeload.

I didn't say that you were a freeloader. I did state that your so called "single parent" at minimum wage, had other forms of income-equivalents. Go down my list, and let me know, if I made mistakes. Also, let us all know, what benefits I overlooked.
