That was then - This is now
In the good old days when there was revenue gushing into the state treasury, it was easy to make budget deals. But that was then and this is now. As the headline says, there is a deadline for the legislature to enact a budget or, under the state constitution, its members won't be paid. However, thanks to court decisions, the deadline doesn't quite mean what it might. The legislature has only to enact something it calls a budget. The governor doesn't have to sign it to avoid a penalty. Effectively, negotiations can continue after the deadline. We will see what happens. Meanwhile, UC is something of a flea on the back of an elephant in all of this. You can read the LA Times account at:
