Just the Facts

From my Principal:

Effective immediately, spending is frozen. We will have to function for the rest of the year with what we have on site today. We will not be able to purchase things like printer cartridges and overhead transparencies for the rest of the year. This unprecedented crisis will call for unprecedented cooperation among ALL staff.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines of Clovis (Fresno County) disagreed that the budget impasse has been driven by ideology.

"We, as a policy matter, believe this state overspends money, that taxpayers are overtaxed, and we don't do a particularly good job of auditing and managing the darn money once it goes out," he said.
