Dozens of lawsuits were filed after the February budget debacle. At least two of them added $3.5 billion back to the budget--adding to the deficit. Many more are about to be decided--no one knows yet how much they will add to the deficit.
Even before a vote is cast on the "new" deficit budget--no one with a straight face has called this "balanced"--lawsuits are being prepared.
How do we know that the new budget is corrupt? It is not being released to the public. The only reason you hide something is if you know it is wrong or illegal . That alone should tell our representatives to vote NO.
" Were told that its likely not legal, said Ryan Alsop, assistant to the countys chief executive. There are very specific criteria on making decisions on extending redevelopment outlined in statutes. It has been difficult for even high-ranking county officials to get details of the state budget plan.
The information has been essentially embargoed, said the countys chief executive, William T. Fujioka. Weve been trying every possible resource we have to get that information. Fujioka told supervisors he expects to learn more about the state budget plans impact on county funding by tonight."
The gimmicks will backfire. Maybe by September when the budget needs to be redone, the denizens of Sacramento will have learned.
