Deep cuts in California services inevitable, state leaders say - Jim Sanders, San Francisco Bee

Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Merced, pointed to the University of California's administration as ripe for spending cuts. "Does the UC president's office need 1,000 employees or can he do it with 500?" Denham asked. "Do we need to have presidents and chancellors that are making $400,000 plus per year?" Bass, D-Los Angeles, said she anticipates cuts to education, health care, human services and prison spending.
