CA Gov. Brown announced $20 billion deficit, then approved Bill SBX 11 which gives CA judges extra illegal income.

“This past week Governor Jerry Brown gave his first State of the State speech. It was only 14 minutes long but to the point. The State faces a $25 billion shortfall and ongoing deficits of over $20 billion every year through 2016 at least. There are no easy fixes. It will take deep cuts, it will take taxes, but most importantly it will take a bipartisan effort.  As Brown stated: “This is not the time for politics as usual. The stakes are too high.”
