I'm a little confused here; work with me for a minute.

The budget deficit is $23.6 billion. How did that become only $5.4bln the legislature has to come up with? Where'd the other $18 billion come from?

You forget, my friend, next year we'll be rich again. By using every accounting gimmick, the bills still come due next year. As
bazaar as it sounds, are we, California, going broke? I'm just a simple pay-as-you-go guy. This thing is out of control. I believe,
with all of my heart, Gov. Davis doesn't have a clue. I read on another forum, most honorable men would opt for a self induced
trip to his maker.

I would bet that someone's or lots of someones pension funds got robbed, is counting on some magical revenue increase, or that he is counting on lawsuit money, or all of the above.

I wonder if Gray has noticed that his campain is on fire?
