One of the ways the last phony budget was going to cut the deficit is by selling unneeded government assets. At the time we all laughed because this was never going to happen. For instance a partial sale, for one billion dollars of the State Compensation fund, was part of the deal. As everybody knows, if this is sold, the cost of Workers Compensation will skyrocket--so it can not be sold.
Now the OC Fairgrounds is being taken off the market--more money that will not go to deficit reduction. In less than 60 days we will be going into another Special Session and another phony budget (real purpose is to borrow another $10 billion to keep the State "open"). Hopefully adults will take charge this time and tell the truth and pass, for the first time in years, an honest budget.
