believe that almost 50,000 employees really need a work cell phone. so he s going to save 20 million bucks by swiping their cell phones. the governor is also proposing a budget plan, he wants to slash spending and extend tax hikes. that still has to be voted on. california of course has already been trying to deal with its huge budget issues that it s been laying off teacher, cutting medicaid and state workers pay. so things are already in motion and even more things are going to be in motion for california. and not likely any of that will end soon. we re still having these problems. we really are. if you go home and ask your neighbor, does it feel like we re in a recession, chances are that neighbor will tell you yes. we re still feeling the effects. and states get even of their income from taxes. but if people aren t working, they re not buying things, they re not paying the sales tax, and this is cumulative.
