State budget impact: Lack of state cash keeps hitting home - Sally Connell, San Luis Obispo Tribune

California’s budget crisis has already caused many state workers to see their pay cut 15 percent from forced furloughs. The crisis has led teachers and parents to protest school employee layoffs and led disabled students to plead for their program at Cuesta College board meetings. The state Legislative Analyst’s Office has estimated the budget numbers will continue to get worse, according to The Sacramento Bee. The nonpartisan office reports there will be an estimated $6.3 billion shortfall in the budget this year and an estimated $14.4 billion shortfall in the fiscal year starting in July.
