I was hearing that Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed an order to lay off 22,000 California state employees, and cut the pay of 200,000 more to minimum wage.  That is quite an action!  I was reading on the LATimes.com website that this is just a temporary measure until the state government approves a budget for the coming year.  It’s unfortunate that he had to take such an action!  Maybe that will motivate them to get it approved!
