There Is Money to Be Had - Part 2

Earlier this week, we posted a headline from the Sacramento Bee illustrating the fact that the governor is in a giving mood with regard to the surprisingly large amount of money in the state treasury.*

Yesterday, we posted information from the state controller about the flow of cash beyond forecast levels during the first ten months of this fiscal year.**

Today we post another headline - this time from the LA Times - noting that in the presence of the pending recall, the governor has been previewing budgetary allocations from his upcoming May Revise proposal (which is due out tomorrow). 

It appears that UC put in its budgetary ask before the full nature of the governor's generous mood was known. But it's not too late. The governor proposes but the legislature makes the final decision. So UC needs to be creative in adjusting its ask to reflect the current circumstances.
