All state salaries and pensions will be in CMB. Other obligations of the State of California will unfortunately remain denominated in USD. Can't upset the interstate commerce applecart too much, you know!
Printed versions of the CMB will be available in a variety of textures and rolls, to facilitate the personal hygiene of state office holders and retirees.
Class envy...
Quite a few ASSISTANT college football coaches pull in over $300,000.
May God damn the governing class!
This is a state college... private colleges yes... state tax payed colleges NO
That would be all med schools on all campi.
UCLA Med Center is certainly to be envied.
