On Thursday, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was ordered to cease monthly unpaid furloughs of state workers. The Governor implemented the furloughs starting in February to address a massive budget gap. According to the ruling Schwarzenegger abused the Emergency Services Act because he implemented the furloughs when the Legislature was unable to pass a budget in a timely fashion, but continued the furloughs “long after” the budget was signed into law. The administration plans to appeal the court’s decision.

1. K&R. I'm so tired of main street being asked to sacrifice while Wall Street
continues with the status quo.

2. Incoming pink slips
Just like what happened in Hawaii. Union members will have to choose between protecting all members jobs at a cost to all member or the elimination of the jobs of the junior members. At this point its a zero sum game in terms of state payroll dollars
