The Republican prices for the votes the governor needs to have his budget passed with temporary tax extension until the extensions get on the ballot are listed below. There is some ambiguity about the pension although it definitely covers UC. The pension cap may cover current employees, not just new hires. (It's not clear to yours truly.) Also as part of a tentative deal is a state spending cap and other provisions.As written, the pension provisions seem to define the kind of part-time recalls to retired faculty as "double dipping" and thus would kill such arrangements. No one would give up a full-time pension just to teach a course. If it covers current workers, the recall problem would crop up soon. If it covers only new hires, the issue would arise down the road.
There is no sign UCOP or the Regents are playing any part in this matter.

Dan--I would also point out that their base year of 2011-12 would mean that the spending cap would basically starve all government spending forever. In order to get an agreement to vote on taxes they are asking the democrats to effectively ensure a republican vision of the state government.
